Rediscovering Chesire Place: The Cultural History of the Wapack Wilderness

In June 2007, NWT cosponsored a cultural history tour of the Wapack Wilderness. This unique property is the former site of Cheshire Place, a 19th century "model gentleman's farm" founded by an eccentric textile tycoon.

Participants enjoyed a tour highlighting local domestic and industrial activity in the late 1800's and a guided walk of the magnificent surrounding forest.
