The oldest untouched forest borders the River Road from the field below the house to the swamp. It is one of the very few pri meyal forests on the river. It has never been lumbered and only live trees which had blown over have been cut up. The forest north of the original place has, however, been lumbered from time to time. Colonel Archibald Rogers developed the timber there on the strip between the line of the original place and the Stone Cottage Roadwhich was bought by me in about 1930. [it] was well developed by 1944, and I took much oak out of this for war-shipping purposes. About feet north of the present railroad siding was a piece of land outside of the track and my father, who did much rowing in a wherry, built a boathouse here and during my early days I was taught to row-sometime about 1890.
