| Fogg homestead as it looks today. |
For the first walk of this fall History Walkers will meet at Fogg Farm Conservation Area Friday, September 19, 2014 at 10:00am.
The Fogg Conservation Area trail has been expanded since we visited two years ago so we will enjoy seeing the work done there by Readfield Trails Committee in 2013 as well as the 0.4 mile original loop trail.
Walkers will also receive information about some other homesteaders who came to this immediate area - the Gove, Hawes and Marston families - and will visit the nearby Marston Cemetery.
The land that is Fogg Conservation Area was part of the Fogg homestead for nearly two centuries. In the early 1990s, after the farm was subdivided, 15 acres was donated to Readfield with a conservation easement to the Kennebec Land Trust.
DIRECTIONS: Take Church Road from Readfield Corner; drive about 1 mile north and turn right onto Fogg Road; the conservation area is about 0.6 mile on left - park in the turnout area on side of road. Suggest you car pool as parking is limited. Bring a sandwich and drink; wear sturdy walking shoes; dress in layers; a walking stick is suggested.To receive research materials associated with this walk email a request to crossings4u@gmail.com.
