Townsend Harbor

A harbor which has no opening to the ocean, how can that be? Well if you go read William Pate's History of the Townsend Harbor you can follow the path that Pate took to answer that very question. It all comes down to word usage. The Townsend Harbor is the result of a dam across the Squannacook River built to power the mill that was established there. Today it is the Spaulding Cooperage Antiques, a quaint spot to rummage through the past.
