Photographer: Michael Herrick
Taken: November 10, 2009
Caption: The Cartway and Stone Fences
Additional Description: [ detail from the marker ]
The cartway, seen in the center of the this (left) photograph, allowed access to other areas of the farm. Because it was sunken, its muddy track was concealed from the family’s view.
According to Jay’s niece, Susan Livingston Ridley, these stone ha-ha fences significantly increased the apparent length and beauty of the front lawn when they were first constructed in 1808.
