This farm that Robert settled on,
around 1790, was kept in
the family up until 1950; passed down from Robert to his son Joseph, then to
his grandson Gilbert, and finally to his great grandson Joseph. The farm, now
owned by the Bogie's and called Bogie Mountain, is one of the most
photographed farms in New England. It has been on several calendars and the
covers of Ideal and Yankee magazines. In 1950 there was still no running water
or indoor plumbing. The barn and most of the outlying structures are still the
original, but the house itself was burned to the ground in the 1970s and
rebuilt to the original footprint. The farm is an active dairy farm and also
produces Vermont maple syrup. |
