Colchester County Home
I grew up near the Colchester County Home or what was left after it burned down. The main building burned down in the 1950's. A small farm house was built in the same location. I had the great experience of helping to bring in the hay, making hay while the sun shines. It was lots of fun loading wagons with baled hay then unloading it and filling the large barn pictured in the aerial view.
Poor Farm Graveyard as I found it & with some brush cleared away.
