Brief Description: Manuscript survey of Robert D. Gilson's mill in Littleton by Henry David Thoreau. The mill was likely located in the northernmost section of Littleton. The grist mill's enormous stone was still in place and the flume that powered the mill had been widened to increase its force. The survey was done for George Brooks who was in the process of acquiring the property and thus ordered the survey.
