The farm was owned by several generations of the Burroughs Family, beginning with Alfred Burroughs. Alfred moved to north Bow in 1848 and ran a saw mill in North Bow on the opposite side of CLinton Street. Maps of the area indicatethat Alfred"s son John H. Burroughs owned the farm in 1892. Lumber from the Burroughs Mill was used to build the largest boat to sail Lake Sunapee, the Kearsarge.
