I dont know too much of the history. Bear swamp hilll was destryoed in 71 when a super sonic jet struck the fire tower at 1300 mph and slid 1/4of a mile thru the swapt taking out 900 trees along the way the wreck was left in the woods and that langing gear is all that is left now but is slowly sinking into the swamp. The mill I have no idea. The cranberry pump was used to pump cranberries up from the bog. The old foundation was a tavern. Wharton state forest was purchased by Mr. Wharton because it has natural springs and he wanted to pump the water ti Philly so I could be sold, but he was not permitted to do so, so he donated the land to the state.
