History

Spring snowmelt brought log drives down the Connecticut River. Log drivers were stationed to guide logs through a sluice over the dam at Bellows Falls. North Walpole offered twelve to eighteen saloons to quench log drivers' thirst. [3] These spring drives were stopped after 1915, when pleasure boat owners complained about the hazards to navigation. [4]
