Bert O’Donnell, The Hatch Mill Group
This talk covers the history of the Two Mile area of Marshfield (Scituate until 1788) related to the Hatch family and the Hatch Mill. The Hatch Mill is located in the Two Mile section of Marshfield on land that was first settled by Walter Hatch (1625-1699). The sawmill was built in 1812 by Deacon Joel Hatch on the site of a former grist mill that was built by his family in 1752. The original sawmill was “modernized“ in 1872. With few further changes the mill was operated continuously by members of the Hatch Family until it was finally closed in 1965. It is now in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Hatch Homestead and Mill Historic District.
