Bullrock the Moose

Legend of Bullrock
     Bullrock, the Dixfield Moose, is named in memory of a moose of local legend. According to this legend, a wandering moose journeyed from the back side of Dixfield's Sugarloaf Mountain. As he approached the rock formation now known as Bull Rock, he became so entranced with the beauty of the valley below that he lost his footing and plunged over the edge.
   Today Bullrock's spirit can be seen in the majesty of our forests and in the steadfastness of our people. He not only symbolizes Dixfield's colorful past, but represents a strong and steady future for us all.
