Tantiusques ("tan-tas-qua") is a 57-acre (230,000 m²) open space reservation and historic site registered with the National Register of Historic Places. The reservation is located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts and is owned and managed by The Trustees of Reservations; it is notable for its historic, defunct graphite mines. The name Tantiusques comes from a Nipmuck word meaning "black stuff between the hills." The Nipmuck used the graphite to make ceremonial paints. The property also contains the ruins of an 19th century period house that belonged to a mine worker of mixed African American and Native American ancestry.
