Site of
Wilder's Chair Factory
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 spindleback 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.
