Tarbell Brook is a 10.1-mile-long (16.3 km)[1]stream located in southwesternNew Hampshire and northernMassachusetts in theUnited States. It is atributary of theMillers River, itself a tributary of theConnecticut River, which flows toLong Island Sound.
Tarbell Brook rises in the western part ofRindge, New Hampshire, at the outlet ofPearly Lake,[2] and flows south to the Damon Reservoirs. The brook then passes intoWinchendon, Massachusetts, reaching the Millers River approximately 2 miles (3 km) west of the town center.
It bears the name ofLieutenant Samuel Tarbell (1744-1828), aRevolutionary WarMinuteman who settled in Rindge with his wife Beatrice Carter in 1773, soon thereafter building awatermill at the outflow of Pearly Lake (formerly known as Tarbell Pond). Although the mill is long gone, Tarbell'sCape Cod style house nearby still presides overRoute 119.
