Hi Josh,

Wildwood is a great area, and I am glad you enjoyed my work.

The Whitcherville settlement (just west of the Wildwood settlement on the Wild Ammonoosuc River), was first called Dansville. The spelling of it varies, and I have seen “Danville” on some of the older maps.

Hope this helps

Have you ever heard of the wildwood area refered to as “Danville”?  It appears in the 1890 birds eye view map of the whites.  Looking for more info on it if you ever happen to come across it.

Thanks

Josh

Hi Steve,

Wildwood is a great area! It is surprising that the cribbing for the dams are still in place and visible after all these years. You can actually see some of the cribbing from the Upper Bunga dam on Google earth. The CCC campsite (where the shoe is) looks to have also been a dumping ground for “trash” after the camp closed, so its very likely the shoe is not that old.

I am glad you enjoyed it Nicole! Back in the old days, Wildwood must have been an interesting area.
