| Stratford originated in 1897 with the purchase of 13,400 acres of virgin red and white pine by the Thayer Lumber Company. A railroad came the same year and hauled logs six days per week for twelve years. In 1908 the last of the pine logs were hauled and Stratford became deserted. The site was purchased by the State in 1937. Submitted by: Ken McClellan |
