Andover Cons Comm Pole Hill Reservation |
Hike #3 of our 'Stories from the Trails' Hike Series: Pole Hill Reservation Join us at the Pole Hill Reservation as we team up with the Andover Historical Society for the final time this year to showcase both the fantastic diversity of Andover's trails and conservation properties, along with the rich history and stories of Andover's past.
Up river from the Ballardvale Dam was “the Shawsheen Grove” – a popular tourist destination in the later years of the 19th century, where visitors could picnic, dance under the stars, swim, or paddle rented boats and canoes on the river. The Boston and Maine Railroad promoted day excursions from Boston, but by 1893, the crowds began to be large and unruly. A deadly “duel” at the Grove in August 1900, and the sensational murder trial that followed, threatened to put an end to the merry-making, but the 20th century brought new attractions including the dance hall “Parker’s on the Shawsheen” and the Serio family’s “Miami Boathouse.”
