This box is part of a series of letterboxes being planted in honor of
Mansfields 300th Anniversary, 1702 2002.

This section of Mansfield is known as Atwoodville and once had two silk
mills along the Mount Hope River, which was used for waterpower. This walk
will take you by some foundations, ruins, and stonework of one of the mills.
While there you may want to look upstream of the bridge and view the
beautiful rapids. If you fish, you may want to take advantage of one of
Mansfields great fishing spots. If the local rivers are at flood stage, do
not do this letterbox until it returns to normal.
