History:

Ferrin Pond was named after Enos Ferrin, who lived in the area during the mid to late 1700’s. Local records show he served in the Revolutionary War. The pastures surrounding the pond are believed to have been his. Over the decades, Enos Ferrin’s Pastures grew into forests, and the Ferrin Pond area became home to many plants and animals. However, during the 1980’s the land around Ferrin Pond was often vandalized by careless people. In 1998, the town of Weare and the PLC banded together to clean up the trash that littered Ferrin Pond’s shores. After years of negotiation with landowners, and through the efforts of the town of Weare and the PLC, the entire Ferrin Pond Conservation Area was protected as a natural area for wildlife and as a recreational area for the public.
