I think there was pretty good quality granite in this area and a lot of quarrying. But the local Indians cleaned up afterwards. Maybe they even did the quarrying.

Driving around Echo Lake Milford, MA
There is no legal place to park but you can spot rock piles in the woods and other things. This was pretty eye-catching, next to someone's driveway:

ReplyDeleteYes, there was ALOT of quarrying here in the late 19th century and early/mid 20th century. This can be seen in some of the street names such as "Granite St." Also Milford MA. is the source for "Milford Pink" :
