Around 1822, Eaton pioneer Joseph Snow brought his family down from his first mountain homestead to live on the main road from Brownfield to Eaton Center.

He moved into a house near the stream that would eventually be called Snow Brook, the current of which provided enough power for a sawmill. He survived on farming, but the sawmill made him prosper.
