Joshua Simmons

Joshua Simmons began farming this property in 1826. The farm lane started at the barns and ran south down the middle of the farm to this location and the surrounding farm fields. The fence on the east side of the lane and one gate still remain. Part of the farm was a wooded lot that provided wood used to heat the farmhouse. In the spring, the maple trees were tapped for sap used to make maple syrup.
