Moore State Park, Public recreation area in Paxton, Massachusetts.
The 737-acre park features multiple stone mill foundations, a restored sawmill, cascading waterfalls, and networks of wooded paths through native vegetation.
Between 1747 and the early 1900s, the land contained five watermills powered by Turkey Hill Brook, which drops 90 feet over a 400-foot distance.
The Moore State Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, preserves architectural elements from the Early Republic period.
Visitors can engage in canoeing, fishing, hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing, and picnicking from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.
The park hosts an experimental plantation of bred chestnut trees, established in 2003 to develop blight-resistant varieties for United States forests.
