Quabbin Reservoir & The Forgotten Grave in the Forest S01E13

🌲 Join me on an unforgettable hike starting from Gate 40 at the Quabbin Reservoir, as we make our way to Dana Common—the former heart of the lost town of Dana. As we trek through the autumn forest, we talk about the monumental construction of the Quabbin Reservoir, which submerged four towns to create one of the largest man-made water supplies in the U.S. 🌊

🏞️ Along the way, we visit the two massive structures that made this all possible: the Winsor Dam and the Goodnough Dike, exploring their role in shaping the reservoir. From there, we embark on a different kind of search—a hunt for the lost grave of Wendell Farnsworth, hidden deep in the forest. 🪦 Will we finally uncover his forgotten resting place, left alone in the woods since his family moved away and his town was drowned by the Quabbin?
