"We have authentic information, that, after the Amherst-Belchertown Railroad was built in 1853, oak timbers for ship building were loaded on the cars and transported to the New London shipyards. We would assume that these timbers were sawed at this log sawing mill as Dwight just noted, which was situated close by the R.R. Here large piles of wood were sawed and furnished to the R.R. trains with which to stoke their wood burning furnaces for the steam power engine. Here, water was taken from a large tank which was supplied from the brook for refilling of the boiler of the engine. With all of this data at hand, it is easy to understand why this district was called “Log Town”." 706: 1183:(1958) The Amherst Historical Society. “Those early trains were miraculous but primitive. They used to stop at Dwight to “wood up,” as the saying went.

The brakeman would go through the train with drinking water . . . in what looked like a large teakettle with two small glasses in sockets in front.”” 87: 25: 666:(1727–1807), newlyweds who settled on the Great Hill by at least 1759, east of the center of Dwight, where a cemetery bears the family name.
