A.M. Bohnert Rice Plantation Pump

The A.M. Bohnert Rice Plantation Pump, located on Route 165 and Post Bayou Lane, near Gillett, Arkansas, in Arkansas County, is a rare surviving example of an early 20th-century pump engine built by the engine manufacturer Fairbanks, Morse & Company. The pumping engine played an important role in productive rice farming in the area, supplying water to flood the fields.

The National Register of Historic Places included the pump in 2010.
