Old Mill Dam and Frank Pierce Shoe Store History
In Concord the Old Mill site on the Mill Dam hosts a long running shoe business of Frank Pierce, serving residents for 56 years since 1865 in a town whose dam and mill history date back to colonial times. The narrative recalls Wheeler mill origins, the 1775 British march, and later reconstruction before Pierce began selling footwear in a rebuilt storefront.
