Meeting House Lot

Final plot of the Meeting House lot with associated Town and General Assembly records.

Mention in the General Assembly record of the "highest part of sawins plain" would suggest that the hill circa 1735 was a bare or "bald" hill. The Wabaquasett/Shetucket and perhaps Mohegan were still hunting and fishing in the area at least up until 1724 according to Colonial records. One could speculate that the land was still being fired at least up to that date.
