Context

This seventeen-acre marsh was a highly desirable wetland prized by the early settlers for its abundant wildlife and marsh hay. Divided between Nathaniel Hobart and his brother Isaac in the 1790s the land was originally diked to facilitate the harvest of hay, a practice that has continued to the present day.
