Horse and team brought raw materials from Cheapside (Greenfield) wharves up over Colrain Mountain and down the back road, now abandoned for 70 years. A walk over the old location makes one wonder how many horses it took to pull a load of cloth up, as it is almost incredibly steep. But obstacles like this were not even considered such in the 30's"Colrain millsProbable View of Old Freight Road
