The Avon Land Trust is very grateful to Eversource for the donation of a trailhead kiosk at our Marge’s Barn parcel, located at 160 Huckleberry Hill Road.
Pictured at right below is Avon resident Mark Massaro, Community Relations for Central CT for Eversource, along with land trust Co-President Bob Breckinridge. Mark has a long personal history of community service as former President of the Avon Little League.
Mark was provided with a history of the parcel, and offered helpful advice on seeking state historic recognition status for the barn, which might open up additional funding opportunities for upkeep and improvement to our 200+ year old barn barn.
Our land trust trailhead now connects to the Town of Avon network of trails, and our barn serves as a workshop for scout projects, storage of tools and materials, family programming center, and a fledgling museum and nature center.
Thanks Eversource!
