Comment of the Day: Remembering Nagog Hill

A reader writes, ❝

In the early 1960s for several summers I worked at Nagog Hill Farm when J. Morrison maintained a dairy farm there.

I recall one warm August day when I was assigned to clear a fence line in the old peach orchard. The peaches were at their peak and none were picked. I almost got sick on the best peaches I have ever eaten.

At the time I had no idea I was in one of a handful of the oldest, continuous fruit orchards in the country.

The Littleton Conservation Trust has posted historical information about the farm (though it is not up to date with the current troubles).

A local campground website provides more memories (and a FAQ).

Thanks go to Lynn Jones, who shared that comment to my recent lament about the fate of Nagog Hill.

Nagog Hill in happier times.
