Thanks to Kenny Sholes for this week’s Ag Reserve Properties presentation, “Off the Beaten Path: Places to Explore This Summer”. Many of these sites are hidden gems. Kenny not only explained their historic importance, but he showed us where they appear on a map, and even used Google to show the route firsthand. 

Some of the structures covered are The Trundle Stone Barn, White’s Ford, Sugarloaf Mountain Chapel, Fisher Farm Barn, and others.
