Although this view of lupine was destroyed by mowing several years ago, the committee is actively working to recreate this beautiful field of wild lupine.

Help Our Cause

Currently raising funds to replenish our reserves spent re-siding the south side of the ROBINSON HOMESTEAD BARN. With the help of many volunteers, Clapboards have been installed along with restored windows to match the front of the barn, preserving its history and integrity before the winter. Cost: $5,000.
