The Story of the Yawgoog Trails
Appendix F: Subjects for Further Study
The author would be grateful for published or official information about these sites:
- The mill site on Peg Mill Brook on the Narragansett Trail in Voluntown.
The Williams and Tracy version of the trail guide names the location as the "old Thomas Mill site" and the brook as "Mill Brook". A potential source of information might be old deed records at the Voluntown town hall. Written inquiries to the Voluntown Historical Society and the Pachaug State Forest headquarters were not answered. See the Green Fall Pond area, Part I.

- The large stone cairn on the Narragansett Trail near the Green Fall River, south of Green Fall Pond.
It may have been created by Native Americans to mark the ravine as a spiritual site or it may have been built more recently by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s or early 1940s. The Corps was based at Camp Lonergan in the Mount Misery area. CCC records may be a place to start. Written inquiries to the Voluntown Historical Society and the Pachaug State Forest headquarters were not answered. See the Green Fall Pond area, Part II.
