Explore Mill Hollow's history by viewing old photos and sharing local tales with an emphasis on the history of milling developments and the early summer community around Lake Warren. We will introduce some of the major figures involved, including Ezra Kidder, Hartley Dennett, and Heman Chase, as well as important buildings in the area, some of which are still standing. Co-sponsored with the Shedd Porter Library
