History
The 1965 sale of the property is believed to have been the first limited-development strategy of conversation planning in the country, in that the eleven private-home lots are clustered to ensure the maximum amount of land can be protected. Abner, Benjamin and Eliphalet lived at the firm in the 18th century. Stephen Buttrick (1772–1828), son of John, lived at the farm in the 19th century.References
