Pest Control Services in West Fairlee, Massachusetts
West Fairlee separated from Fairlee in 1797 and developed around copper mining connected to the nearby Ely Mine (1821-1920). Today the town hosts historic summer camps including Camp Billings and Aloha Horizons, and was home to Nobel laureate Milton Friedman's summer estate 'Capitaf' where he wrote Free to Choose. A 1910 fire and the mine's closure significantly impacted the local economy.
