Tolland Mill, 1930s. The birthplace of Henry Wolcott, the immigrant. Henry's grandfather, John Wolcott, was the miller at Tolland since 1562, but this house's age is unknown. The former grist mill is at the left. When this photo was taken, the house had no electricity or running water. There was a hand pump for water in the kitchen, at the left end of the house. The stone wall kept farm animals out of the front yard.
