Our Sawmill Began in a Backyard
Hull Forest Products began in a backyard in Rhode Island when company founder William Boston Hull was a teenager. Hull showed an early affinity for trees: at age 15 he borrowed the money to purchase his first woodlot—twelve acres of hardwoods. Taking his passion for trees to the University of New Hampshire, Hull earned a degree in Forestry, then got his start in the lumber business on an old fashioned circular sawmill, sawing white oak into whiskey barrel staves.
In 1970 Hull incorporated and moved to Pomfret, Connecticut. His tiny operation grew up to be the largest and most progressive hardwood sawmill in southern New England. Today the three Hull children are involved in the family business, which continues to expand and remains a leader in the sustainable forestry movement.
