Purgatory Chasm is a natural feature that draws thousands of visitors each year. It was remarked on in the History of Sutton Volume I, and had been known to the earliest settlers.

In 1919, Purgatory Chasm was designated a State Reservation.

There is also a plaque for Ctp John Whitin Lasell who was a member of the commission back in the 40s, and who died in WWII.
