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. Thanks to your support, we've raised over $100,000 of our $300,000 private goal. To date, we've secured a major Open Space grant from the State of Connecticut, a municipal contribution, and we expect to apply for a federal Highlands grant and another private grant this Spring. 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.
