Guess who went to the second largest body of water in Massachusetts today? That's right, LIZZIE AND I DID. So circa 1897, this dam was set up here to block off the Nashua river, which flooded parts of a bunch of towns around Clinton (where this dam is) creating the Wachusett reservoir, which filled by 1908. The only downside is that now you have one less place to pee in the area, because you could have peed in the Nashua river and no one would have batted an eye--PEE AWAY, GOOD SIR--but now people get all weird if you defile a public water source. THAT'S PROGRESS FOR YOU.
