Hubbardston Dam
StandingA dam on Fish Creek that once powered local sawmills and later served as a small hydroelectric site.
The Hubbardston Dam on Fish Creek was one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in the village's early history. Built during the lumber era, the dam created a millpond that provided steady waterpower to drive the sawmills processing timber from surrounding forests. In later years, as the lumber industry faded, the dam was repurposed as a small hydroelectric power source. The dam and its millpond were central features of the village landscape, serving as gathering spots and landmarks for generations of residents. The structure is a tangible link to Hubbardston's industrial origins.
