Why this spot

1845-1916 mill town, then Glenside Park resort

Company town David Felt built on Blue Brook from about 1845 with a mill, two dams and workers' housing for about 175 people by 1850, where he required church attendance. After successor businesses failed it became known as the deserted village, was revived in 1882 as the Glenside Park summer resort, and declined again when the resort closed in 1916.View source →
