Greetings Friends! We wanted to provide our ardent supporters, friends, and volunteers with an update on the Moore Farm and Stonehouse conservation project. As you probably know, we've been working closely with Trust for PublicLandto secure funding for the purchase of the house and farm on High Road. To date, we've been awarded a grant from the State of CT’s Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition (OSWA) grant program, another grant from the CT Land Conservation Council, a state appropriation made possible through Senator Rick Lopes, a municipal allocation supported unanimously by our Town Council, and we currently expect to secure funding from the Highlands Conservation Act.
Thanks to your generoussupport, we've raised $215,000 of our $300,000 private goal. With your continued support, we'll be able to officially protect the property and open it up to the public by late-summer! A gift towards this project is a gift to the community, our environment, and future generations.
Please Join usand stay tuned for exciting events on the farm this summer!
Please see this recent article about the Moore Farm & Stonehouse. The folks from Preservation Connecticut came out to the house and took a look. Please take a look at what they wrote about the place. This article includes images of the house and a few of Moore's paintings.
