History
Spring snowmelt brought log drives down the Connecticut River. Log drivers were stationed to guide logs through a sluice over the dam at Bellows Falls. North Walpole offered twelve to eighteen saloons to quench log drivers' thirst. These spring drives were stopped after 1915, when pleasure boat owners complained about the hazards to navigation.
