" The morning hours of the day were spent quietly by the party in Mr. Plunkett's house. Just before noon the President and Mr. Plunkett and several members of the party went to the site of the new mill and there the corner stone was "well and truly" laid by the president. On returning to the house lunch was served and the president prepared for his trip to North Adams. "

" Loot buried by Hessian mercenary soldiers during the American Revolution is said to be buried in Dalton. The legend goes that on reaching Dalton, Massachusetts, the Hessians agreed among themselves to put their valuables into a howitzer, which they buried in the woods, intending that some of them should come back at the close of the war and recover it. As is so often the case in these stories, the Hessians never returned. The treasure is assumed to be hidden in the surrounding woodlands.
