The Green River in Greenfield, Massachusetts, powered mills on this site from 1714 to 1910. The grist mill that Captain Jonathan Wells built here in 1714, remained in his family until 1791, when it was sold to Colonel William Moore, who launched several enterprises here, including a cotton factory, a nail mill, a cooper’s shop, a potash works, a tannery, and a slaughterhouse. An iron foundry built next to the complex in 1823, was the first such site in Greenfield.
