The town of Wilmington emerged in the mid 1700's as a small settlement formed when early settlers built grist mills along the Deerfield River.
Just west of Wilmington is Lake Whitingham (also known as Harriman Reservoir), where divers can explore the old foundations of the "drowned " town of Mountain Mills. A small paddlewheel tour ship cruises the lake during the summer months.
