   The Westport Land Conservation Trust and The Trustees of Reservations announced on October 20th, 2008 that they are moving forward with the purchase of the Oscar Palmer Farm on Adamsville Road. The Palmer Farm is a cultural landmark in Westport and has within its 28+ acres many attributes of historic, agricultural and scenic value to the Town, such as a cemetery, farm outbuildings, a network of stonewalls and the exterior of the farmhouse itself. Also of note is the Angeline Brook, an ecologically significant cold water stream that passes through the property on its way to the Land Trust's Herb Hadfield Conservation Area and on to the West Branch of the Westport River. For more information and to make a donation to the Palmer Farm Campaign, please contact The Westport Land Conservation Trust, 1100D Main Road, P.O. Box 3975, 508-636-9228. Help us and our partners save this farm for the future of Westport. The Westport Land Conservation Trust | |
