Geocache Description:

Another lunchtime quickie


In the early1700’s Benjamin Mills owned large parcels of land adjacent to the Charles River in Needham, Wellesley and Newton. He was also a “Tavern Keeper” well into the 1700’s. The land stayed in the Mills family throughout the 1700’s but some was transferred to the City of Newton. The “History of Needham” publication has many more interesting details if you are interested in reading about it.

This cache is located on a short stretch of the Charles River Link trail which bears his name and connects to the Bay Circuit Trail in Medfield.
