PETERSHAM STATE FOREST PETERSHAM, ATHOL Stone-faced advert Historical Background In 1933 the Otter River CCC camp prepared seven miles of road, improved miles of forest road, built water holes and completed a small concrete dam. This dam created Riceville Pond, which was developed for recreation and fishing on the site of an earlier pond known as White's Pond, named after John White, the original grantee. From 1734 to at least 1837 there was a sawmill in that location. Camp S-89 (Company 1142) was established at Petersham in summer 1935 and closed in January of the same year. Its major projects included construction of truck trails and three water holes. In 1936 and 1937 Camp S-62 from Windsor improved the water system at the former CCC camp and did forestry work. 69.
