吉塘村位于白鹭古村东南约4公里处，附近建有吉塘水库。村子因一口古井传说而被载入县志，也因做为文天祥的第二故乡而名留史册。

       古井即是该村的葫芦井，它有一段美丽的传说。

       葫芦井因井口较小，井身较大，犹如葫芦状而得名。 据清同治《赣县志》载：“吉塘村有葫芦井，井口如瓮，下则空阔无涯，人不敢入。以石投之，声如鸣锣，余音甚长，其水甘洌，与它井殊。士人相传，掘井时有仙过其地，以杖击土，豁然而成。环井皆民居，至今无崩塌。”据说，人掉下去不沉，恍惚水下有物托身。

       在吉塘陈氏宗祠堂旁有一间“颖川堂”厅房，据说，就是当年文天祥读书的地方。如今，私塾遗址原屋早已倒塌，仅存一堵断墙。近年，吉塘村民在原址“颖川堂”后厅位置建了一间厅房，起名“诗礼堂”。一幅堂联笔锋雄健，曰：“昔日韦布来章贡，今朝紫袍登颖川”。是文天祥给吉塘人留做纪念的楹联。

       文天祥少年的文化启蒙得益于吉塘村陈氏显贵人物殿升公的慈爱和惜才。文天祥在这里放牛、伴读三年，不断得到陈殿升的资助，最终于宝祐四年（1256年）得中状元。咸淳十年（1274）被委任为赣州知州。他为了报答吉塘村乡亲父老知遇之恩，亲临吉塘致谢，并亲笔题赠“文星聚奎”的门匾和“昔日韦布来章贡，今朝紫袍登颖川”的堂联给吉塘村留念。

       宗祠的牌坊大门门楣上刻有“德星第”三字。三檐单间，红石门框，雕麒麟、凤凰等纹饰。“德星堂”为陈氏的著名堂号。

正厅已倒塌，新建“性本为善”堂，偏厅改为老祠堂。堂号“乐善堂”。

       厅前有一精美照壁，照壁下有一半月形水池，壁额题：世义流芳。水池由一堵矮墙相隔，开偏门，题“校园”字样。

       井旁一户人家，虽重新修葺过，但门牌坊基本保留下原样。一对旗杆石成了洗衣人的垫脚石，朴实的陈氏族人依然过着平实清淡的日子。

吉塘村未有公交通行，地处较为偏僻，需自驾或骑行。可在田村镇至白鹭乡中途下车徒步前往。
