Unbeknownst to Solomon Willard and the other original proprietors of Hall Place, the flat topped hill that forms the bulk of the site is not a natural feature, but was created in the 1640s as the height from which raw materials were poured into the top of America's first iron furnace. Crescent Street ( originally ' Cemetery Street" ) is built on top of the stone dam that attempted to harness Furnace Brook to turn the water wheel to power the bellows.
So although Solomon Willard is buried mere feet from the now excavated ruins of the iron works, he did not know this when he selected his plot, as it was not unburied until the 1950s.
