Have you ever wondered how our forefathers powered industrial expansion in rural New England. We have few landmarks that tell the story but Leverett is lucky to have one such beloved icon. With your help we can let it tell us its secrets triumphs and disappointments and how it can be a bellwether for the future. With the donation of a nearly threehundredyearold sawmill property and the land surrounding it Friends of the North Leverett Sawmill has been formed for charitable purposes to rehabilitate this historic mill built in 1774 and turn it into a living history and technology museum.
