Civil War Farm

Post by TR146x »

I’m interested if anyone has any information on the Civil War farm belonging to Dr. ?? (can’t remember name.)

This farm is still standing, in the Marlborough, third edition, the main house, and several slave quarters still stand. The information I have says that the developers will not raze the farm, until the original owner dies, she’s an elderly women, not long with us.

The doctor treated many soldiers as they retreated from Wilson’s Creek. The property can be accessed From Williams Avenue, but it would be best to walk north from Carver school, as a car parked on Williams would be noticed.

Going down the hill from the farm heading to tword the creek and Carver Middle School, you will find a cave. My friends and I found this one day when our class was outside "doing science stuff" and found two ponds covered in algie (sp?) and we noticed a kind of doorway in the side of the bluff... so we checked it out and its a cave with some water piping (obviously for the house). I hope that the house doesn't get torn down though... We need to save as much as we can for future generations to enjoy.

Agreed. I talked to Ralph Manly about this, but it’s out of his hands, he does not own or have an interest in the property. It’s good real estate, worth quite a few bucks, I don’t think there’s any way to save the place.
