==History==
As glaciers retreated from what is now the New England landscape, distinctive hills were formed. When the last glacier moved across the New England landscape over 10,000 years ago, it formed distinctively-shaped hills called "drumlins" running parallel to the path of the ancient ice flow. Dexter Drumlin is "a classic example"〔〔〔(Town of Clinton, Massachusetts: discussion forums )〕〔() "Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods" by Douglas E. Cox〕
surrounding the drumlin was donated to the Trustees of Reservations by Lancaster "town father" Nathaniel Dexter by bequest in 2002.〔〔 The change of the toponym from "Kilbourn Hill" to "Dexter Drumlin" was part of a Trustees of Reservations rebranding effort in 2000 following their acquisition of the property.
