History

Just south of the village center is Mount Prospect, summer home to United States Senate John W. 1910. Other grantees were Timothy Nash and Benjamin Sawyer, who discovered Crawford Notch in 1771, making a shorter route to Portland, Maine possible. Situated on the northern Connecticut River, the community endured many Indigenous peoples of the Americas hostilities. It is now Weeks State Park, which features a fire lookout and his mansion, open for tours during the summer.
