Robbins Mill Conservation Land in Acton, Massachusetts, features remnants of an 18th-century gristmill and sawmill along Nashoba Brook just north of Wheeler Farm. The mill harnessed the brook's flow to power its operations, and visitors can still see the foundations of the mill buildings and the mill run—a channel designed to direct water from the brook to the mill’s wheel. Adjacent to the mill run is a small pond that feeds into Nashoba Brook that was likely used as a reservoir to ensure a steady water supply for the mill's operation.
