The force of Northfield Brook's water is shown in this picture of it's falls.Northfield Brook was an important source of water power in Thomaston and Northfield in the mid 1800s with several industries including a knife shop, a grist mill, textile mill, and a saw mill benifiting from its flow. The brook also provided water for some of the small dairy farms located upstream

The picnic areas at Northfield are located on or near old historic sites. The remains of 3 old mill pond dams may still be seen along Northfield Brook within the park.
