We start with the Native Americans who fished and hunted on premise thousands of years before the 1640s when Europeans arrived in Andover. Other topics include the early colonists, the witch hysteria, Rev War connections, trains, and activities on the pond prior to it becoming closed off to recreation as the town&rsquo;s major water supply.
