"In 1810, Peter Wilder, with his son-in-law Abijah Wetherbee,
established the Wilder Chair Shop here in Wilder Village. Josiah P. Wilder and some of his brothers, sons
of Peter, made over 25,000 spindle-back wooden seated chairs in forty or more designs. Stools, settees
and rockers were also made here until the freshet of 1869 when the dam went out." erected 1975 |
