That’s the Hathaway farm, I currently own the property and am restoring it. I’ve just reclaimed the field on the opposite side of the road which was part of the historical farm & was sold in the past...it was a small gravel pit and is now a nice field. I had the one flat roofed section demolished as it was beyond repair & damaging the buildings connected to it. I recently spoke to the 70+ year old grandson of one of its former owners & found that the big hole in basement of main house was his grandfather’s root cellar that he built. I’ve had the field behind the house restored & the apple trees pruned. We had a large garden planted behind the farm this year...the soil is amazing. We plan to bring agricultural products back to the farm. It is a distinct honor to history to be able to restore a property like this one, the barn is still beyond amazing after 150 years...little scribblings by past owners & their children who shared their activities by writing on the barn beams are still seen today.
