Donated December 2007 by Win-Stanley Properties, this parcel represents the only land owned by Wintonbury Land Trust that is in Windsor.
This property was once part of the Thrall Tobacco Farm Holdings in Windsor. Its history is preserved forever when in the 1960’s this property was used in a film entitled ‘Parish”. In fact the two barns and pond that still remain on the WLT parcel were used in several scenes as background to the film. Most of the meadowland near pond has succession overgrown transitioning to forest. There is a staggering of fruit trees near the two barns on the property. Once past the roadway growth, one can easily walk this property unencumbered on established paths while envisioning the prosperous ‘Tobacco Valley’ farm industry.
