Dudleyville Pond Dam, dating back to the 1800s, is being removed. Known locally in Shutesbury MA as Brown's Dam, it had been a family fixture since 1951. Despite decades of care by the Brown family, it was deemed a safety hazard due to modern standards and environmental changes.
The dam's removal, expedited by an emergency order, will transform the pond into a stream, benefiting local wildlife and improving safety.
