Great place to visit, step back in time. The Hon.Charles R. Prescott built this house in 1799 ,it took three years to complete. Thanks ,to a very helpful tour guide ,I now have a understanding ,that Mr. Prescott is given credit for introducing apples to the region. Thanks for the summer visit,to a interesting place.
Beautiful estate and delightful tour guide. Thanks, Margarete
