An old saw blade, unused for over forty years, lays against the stone foundation of the abandoned Hatch Saw Mill in the section of Marshfield along Union Street known as Two Mile. Originally a grist mill, the building was built in 1759 by Israel Hatch, converted to a saw mill in 1812, and remained a Hatch Family operation until closing in 1965.
The downside of restoration...
With the Hatch Mill's restoration underway, the door and blade seen in this photo have been removed and are no longer here. The blade is gone to who knows where, and the old door that you see here that has so much charm and historic character with it's swirls from the circular saw blade that was used to cut and create it has been replaced by a new wooden door of the same style... Unfortunately, the new door lacks all that nice historic character that was found in the old door seen here in this photo.
