HistoryEdit
Thomas Miller erected the upper dam in 1704 to make a reservoir for his gristmill that was located further downstream. Millers Pond plus an additional 170 acres of woodlands was acquired in 1955 by the state from the heirs of Thomas Macdonough Russell with monies provided in the trust fund of George Dudley Seymour. In succeeding years, the state purchased additional property, completing acquisition of all the land around the pond in 1972.
