Brief Description:
The
present Hale Homestead was completed in October, 1776,
roughly one month after Nathan Hale's execution, although
the family lived on the site since 1740. The Hale
farm included not only fields, but meadows, pastures, gardens,
orchards, barns, sheds, a well and a cider mill. By the
close of the 18th century, the Homestead encompassed 450
acres with several houses, barns cider and lumber mills.
Today the site is no longer a farm, but herb an heirloom
vegetable gardens have been planted. An annual corn maze,
open to the public in early fall is sometimes "haunted".
