historic stone wall in August for the Springdale Mill beside Mass Central Rail Trail at Holden in eastern Massachusetts

This stone wall was part of the holding pond providing water power to the mill. It is one of many relics of this historic manufacturing facility, built back in the late 19th century. Additional posters say the mill (with its toxic waste) was abandoned to establish Wachusett Reservoir.
