Sugar River is most famous for the freshwater pearl rush in the early 1900s when people came from far and wide to seek the treatures of the riverbed. The Reserve itself can be traced back to 1905, when the land was purchased by Henry C. Putnam. While much of the land was briefly renovated into a golf course, it was lovingly restored back to a natural reserve in 2018.
