Add PhotosHartland Hollow was a hamlet in the north east corner of Hartland, CT. It was located in the valley drained by the East Branch of the Farmington River.
Starting in 1927, the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) of Hartford County started buying land in Hartland Hollow and its southern neighbor, Barkhamsted Hollow. The Depression expedited the land acquisition. In 1936 the MDC hired a New Jersey company to strip the land and move both the graves and surviving markers from the cemeteries.
In 1937, construction of the Saville Dam began. In 1940, Hartland Hollow held its final annual Halloween Dance. The entire nine mile catchment area of Barkhamsted Reservoir did not fill until 1948.
All graves and surviving markers in Hartland Hollow, Cole, Newton and Tiffany Farm cemeteries were moved to the West Hartland Cemetery in 1936.
The Hale Collection contains transcriptions of the markers in 1933.
