In 1789, Job Watson purchased this rich acreage, and for 200 years five generations of Watsons cultivated it. The property is still a working family farm, raising cattle and sheep for beef, lamb, and wool markets, growing acres of grass for winter hay supplies, and making compost for fertilizer, and cultivate a large vegetable garden. The 1796 house, still a residence, is not open to the public, but visitors can avail themselves to a self-guided walking tour. Educational programs and group tour s available by appointment.
