Property Acquisition History | | In about 1853 successful New York businessman Charles H. Leonard began to transform a working landscape around a gristmill on the Sippican River. The Hiller family purchased the land in 1910 and cared for it until it was permanently protected between 2003 and 2005 by a broad coalition, including The Trustees of Reservations, the Town of Rochester, and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. |
