Have a book on old farms in Waterbury Dam area of Waterbury,Washington Co., VT.I have been to the farmsite during deer season, this is one of the farms purchasedin 1839 by John Shaw Ladd and his wife Sarah M., another adjoining farm wasowned also, but sold in 1857 to Henry D. Hutchins. The original Ladd farm wassubs. run by their son Franklin[John F.]Ladd and his wife,Eliza Cheney Ladd. Theymoved to Stowe in 1899.
In the late 1700s, pioneers cleared fields and roads of rocks and stumps from thetracts now called Ricker Basin and Cotton Brook. At one time, a large settlement of50 or so families lived in this area. The hard demands of the land and weatherforced younger generations to abandon the farms. Today, old cemeteries, asawmill, old town roads, bridges, and many cellar holes can still be found asevidence of a past community.
On November 3 and 4, 1927 torrential rains and Little River's rising waters droveresidents to their roofs. A second flood in 1934 spurred the construction ofWaterbury Dam. Between 1935 and 1938 the Civilian Conservation Corps incooperation with the Corps of Engineers constructed Waterbury Reservoir.Interestingly, the CCC camp was a fully operating, thriving community with more than80 buildings, housing 2,000 men at its peak. Yet today, half a century later, only afew solitary chimneys and concrete foundations remain. In 1962, the Vermont ParkService began development of Little River State Park.
