Sawmill Hill
Charlemont, Massachusetts · opened 1964lost 1965
Hill was a totally unique ski area...likely the only one ever built that utilized steam power to drive the lifts! But before diving into its interesting history, I must first thank Nan Williams. She contacted the former owner and friend of hers, Charles Goodwin, asking for information about the area. In return, he sent her some articles on the ski area, which she has sent to
