Synopsis

The Mount Misery Conservation Area of Lincoln, Massachusetts, has an unusually interesting and visible history. This guidebook provides information to help visitors notice the property's distinctive features and informs them about the historic and geological features they see. Readers will learn answers to questions such as: What family is associated with the cellar hole near the parking lot? How old is the first pond you come to? Where was the colonial-era sawmill, and where did its water come from? How did Mount Misery get its name? What was Glacial Lake Sudbury and how did it shape this terrain?
