Moore State Park

Route 31 Paxton, MA Phone: 508-792-3969

1 Sawmill Road Paxton MA Moore was the site of grist and saw mills from 1747 through the early part of this century. What remains today is stone mill foundations, a restored sawmill, and mountains of glorious rhododendrons, azaleas and mountain laurel. Turkey Hill Brook, dropping 90 feet in less than a quarter mile, was a good mill site, and as many as five separate mills may have been built here. The remnants of the mill-village at Moore give a glimpse of the old rural manufacturing economy.
Recreational opportunities: Canoeing, fishing, hiking, historic site, hunting (restrictions), interpretive program, scenic viewing area, skiing (cross-country), walking trails.
