Gail Borden, discoverer of the process of milk preservation by evaporation and condensation, built the world's first condensed milk factory here, in 1857. The new milk product proved to be of great value, particularly to the Union Army during the Civil War. Fire destroyed the mill in 1877.

Parking at Burr Pond is very limited. Once capacity is reached, the park is closed, and may remain closed for several hours. Please note there is no alternative parking, and cars parking or unloading on local roads and parking lots will be ticketed and/or towed.
