Fork Factory Brook, Protected area in Medfield, Massachusetts, United States.
Fork Factory Brook encompasses 135 acres of wetlands, old stone walls, ledges, and agricultural fields within Massachusetts natural landscape.
The property housed mills from 1771, including a facility that manufactured metal pitchforks during the early nineteenth century under Henry Partridge management.
Local agricultural traditions continue through hay production in the fields that date back 300 years of farming heritage.
Visitors access 1.5 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking through a shared parking area with Rocky Woods on Hartford Street.
The stone raceway and earthen dam from the original mill complex remain visible at the southern end of the reservation.
