Rust Pond - Wolfeboro
Rust Pond is located in South Wolfeboro just off busy Rt. 28 near the sharp corner and the Cider Press Restaurant. It was once known as Springfield Pond and was owned by the Springfield family whose yellow home sits on Rt. 28 and is identified with an historical plaque. The Springfield family owned a blanket mill/factory in this general area that was powered by what was called a flume which ran from Rust Pond to Lake Winnipesaukee. As you can see in the postcard below, it froze up in the winter. Springfield Point, on the BIG lake is named after this family as well.
Also located on Rust Pond is the Hill School Camp now known as the Wolfeboro Camp School - a somewhat elite summer boarding school. READ MORE HERE ...from the website Quote:
