The 1965 sale of the property is believed to have been the first limited-development strategy of conversation planning in the country,[2] in that the eleven private-home lots are clustered to ensure the maximum amount of land can be protected.[1]
Abner, Benjamin and Eliphalet lived at the firm in the 18th century.[3] Stephen Buttrick (1772–1828), son of John,[4] lived at the farm in the 19th century.[5]
