Sharon, Mass. Owner, Mr. Edwin Fobes. 



History. The original planter was Mr. Lyman Plimpton, 

 who in 1858 planted white pine on the site of an old peach 

 orchard which had been killed by blight. When first made, the 

 plantation comprised about 6 acres, but a forest fire swept 

 through it a number of years ago, destroying or badly damag- 

 ing over half of it. A few of the remaining trees show scars 

 upon their trunks, but otherwise appear very thrifty. 



Purposes. To utilize poor land. Interest in forestry, from 

 the standpoint of lumber value and beauty of landscape.
