Between 12,500 and 13,000 humans began to visit northwest Connecticut mostly as winter visitors after hunting caribou in VT and NH. Bear-sized beaver were also hunted for their pelts and their fatty tails. The only remains of this population are stone tools and projectile points. The point on the left is about 13,000 years old while the full point is about 12,500.

The Beeman family were the primary land owners in the Lake District and before 1800 Thomas Beeman owned over 2000 acres.
It was the Beeman family who originally owned the clover mill on the Sucker Brook Lake Road although Minor Strong became its most prominent owner. Clover seed remains a valuable commodity because it enriches the forage of sheep and cattle.
