Fun Fact

Wilton is the home to W.S. Wells & Son, once the only cannery in the country that canned dandelions & fiddleheads.  They originally started in North Anson in 1894, and eventually it moved to Wilton, canning local fresh produce for years.

1967 big business was bullying him out of business, until a local farmer asked if he could canned his crop, fiddleheads!  These were a huge success and kept the plant running for several more decades.  

2013 the plant stopped its canning process and ships only fresh fiddleheads.  This has kept the company running and steadily employer a small army of pickers.
