The Mashamoquet Brook was a source of power for small mills which developed along it and its tributaries. The ruins of these mills and their dam foundations still exist along the brook. The written evidence of these mills is found in Pomfret's land records. An example of one of these mills, the Brayton Grist Mill, stands at the entrance of Mashamoquet State Park on Route 44 and is open to visitors.
