Remarkably Well Preserved

 

   “Fortunately, the stone and earth works that farmers left behind remain remarkably well preserved. They lend aesthetic character to our forests and offer meaningful connections to the past that we can appreciate up close and in person.” - Timothy H. Ives

 Note: These remarkably well preserved stone and earthworks can also be found in Connecticut, especially near the agricultural fields in the Nonnewaug section of Woodbury CT.

The area is named for the Nonnewaug Wigwams, a known but seldom mentioned Contact era Village, occupied from 1672 up to around 1740 by the Nonnewaug band of the Pootatuck, according to local historian William Cothren in his "History of Ancient Woodbury Connecticut."

(Actually, in the above photo, only the "rare" zigzag stone marked with green ribbon survived - the rest was crushed and buried in 2007...)
