Property Description	60 acres | Established 1906
Petticoat Hill is one in a grouping of three hills that rises more than 1,000 feet above South Williamsburg. By the late eighteenth century, this was the most populous part of town and was at least partially cleared for subsistence farms. From the top, one could see Mount Tom, the Connecticut River, and the Holyoke Range. Today the hillside is covered by a 100-year-old forest criss-crossed by old stone walls and dotted with the cellar holes and foundations of early farmsteads. The Reservation takes its name from the story of a family with seven daughters that settled near the top of the hill. Each daughter wore five petticoats, and, on Monday wash days, people from miles around could see thirty-five petticoats billowing in the breeze as they dried on a clothesline.
