Placed to honer the original settlers of this land. They were not
ENGLISH ! For your own safety remember to where a white cloth on
your head or else..(no bushwacking needed) Park near skateboard
park, trail in corner of lot.
Back in the 80s 1680s that is. Two tribal leaders Pethus and Ahamo
of the Tunxis Clan died, and a new leader was needed. A meeting was
held at the home of one John Wadsworth. For his help (weather they
wanted it or NOT) he was awarded this land in the meadow, that is
still owned by his family. In the heart of the Tunxis man was owned
by the land not the other way around. Then came the 18th century in
the year 1704 a massacre of English in Deerfield Ma. set off a
panic in and around the village. The town folk set forth to fortify
no less than seven homes for protection from the raiding Mohawks
from the northwest. The Tunxis were told to remove any paint from
their faces, also to at all times when out in public to wear a
white cloth on there heads so they would not be mistaken for the
Mohawk warriors Who were feared by both Tunxis and English . One
man was killed his name was Mr. Scott who resided in a place we now
know as Scott Swamp. Was his death from raiding Mohawks or murder
by someone who had a axe to grind with Mr Scott? We may never know
so much early history of this land was written to make the English
look like the Good Guys Were They? This Cacher has
Doubts.Understandable as my Great Great grandmother was 100 percent
MOHAWK Alright enough history already, go get that cache!!
