In this area of Easton, formerly part of Landaff and before that Lincoln, the settlement of Wildwood once stood. At the turn of the 20th century, Wildwood was a center for the "slash and run" logging of Mt. Moosilauke. The village included a school, a post office, several sawmills, a boardinghouse, and a few homes. West of here was a dam used in the spring drives that moved logs down the Wild Ammonoosuc River from the mountains to southern New England mills. The last log drive on the river occurred in 1911. From 1933 to 1937, the first CCC camp authorized in NH was located at Wildwood.
