About Moose Hill Farm
Moose Hill Farm is a culturally significant local landscape. Its 347 acres are a significant part of a large 2800-acre, regionally important block of conservation land that is owned and managed by the The Trustees and the Town of Sharon. Moose Hill Farm supports at least nine functioning vernal pools, three rare plant species, five rare wildlife species, and a population of one state-listed endangered plant. It also supports four early successional community types that are in decline regionally and a large, diverse wetland system. The property maintains six buildings and a number of support structures varying in size and construction type. These buildings include Main House, Doll House or Studio, Chauffeur’s Cottage, Gardener’s House, two rental houses, Workshop – consisting of two large garage structures, Barn Buildings, Utility Structures – providing the entrance for underground electric service and the emergency propane fired generator, and Fire Tower. The landscape has been an agricultural site since the 1600s.
