If you’ve been down Lowell Road recently, you must have seen the recent improvements of the Conservation Commission to the Fessenden Mill property which was acquired from Murdock Mackenzie. It’s a very beautiful spot. You can still see the outline of the foundation to the mill, which was the largest manufacturing building in town. The mill was originally powered with water rights from Cobbett’s Pond. The first grist-mill was established here before 1790. The larger mill building was built in 1871. Cloth was manufactured here and later witch-hazel.
