Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising over 2,500 acres of forest, wetlands, and rugged hills, Middlesex Fells, just seven miles north of Boston, is one of the nation's first state parks and contains the world's first public land trust, Virginia Wood. For centuries, the Fells provided rich hunting and fishing grounds for Native Americans. In 1632, Gov. John Winthrop and others explored the area and named the largest pond Spot Pond because of the many islands and rocks protruding through the ice. The Fells was used for farming and timber, and Spot Pond Brook became the focus of industrial activity, which culminated in 1858 with the Hayward Rubber Mills. In the 1880s and 1890s, Middlesex Fells was a key property in the Boston metropolitan park movement driven by conservationists Wilson Flagg, Elizur Wright, Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles Eliot, George Davenport, and Sylvester Baxter. In 1894, the Metropolitan Park Commission began acquiring Fells land. Electric trolleys crossed the Fells from 1910 to 1946, and in 1959, with the car culture in control, Interstate 93 was built through the area. Today, the Fells, as envisioned by its founders, is a forested haven for city dwellers.

Book Synopsis Lost Mill Village of Middlesex Fells, The by : Douglas L. Heath and Alison C. Simcox
Download or read book Lost Mill Village of Middlesex Fells, The written by Douglas L. Heath and Alison C. Simcox and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest mill communities in the Massachusetts Bay Colony formed along Spot Pond Brook, a few miles north of Boston. Thomas Coytmore built the first mill in 1640 at the brook's downstream end in "Mistick Side" (present-day Malden). Other mills sprang up along the brook as well. Today, most of Spot Pond Brook is hidden in culverts beneath the busy streets of Malden and Melrose. However, remnants of the lost mill village of Haywardville--foundations, millruns and ponds and waterfalls--are preserved within Middlesex Fells Reservation, part of Boston's world-famous Metropolitan Park System. Authors Douglas L. Heath and Alison C. Simcox trace the history of this thriving early American community.

This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1896, PREFACE: The following list has been compiled at the request of the Metropolitan Park Commission in order to put on record the present condition of the vegetation of the new public reservations as a basis for comparison in the future. The acreage of Blue Hills Reservation is about 4000 acres, Middlesex Fells Reservation 3000 acres, Stony Brook Reservation 450 acres, Beaver Brook Reservation 58 acres. The diversified character of the lands embraced in the reservations gives rise to a most interesting flora. The height of Great Blue Hill is 635 feet, and throughout the reservations hills alternate with valleys and swamps, and clearings with woods, while ponds and brooks afford a rich aquatic vegetation.....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artw
