On the way to Bradbury Mtn from Freeport - A Pownal Masterpiece

On the way to Freeport from Pownal Center, you pass this amazing property that has been preserved with the help of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust land conservation organization. This barn and farmhouse sits on 18 acres of open land. It is visible from Bradbury Mountain, a large state park with hiking trails and mountain bike trails. Bradbury Mountain is a 15 minute drive from Exit 22 in Freeport.
Pownal has an active land trust working hard to preserve open space. Quoting again from Richard Barringer from the Portland Press Herald article "Report: Maine's singularity key to development" on December 5, 2007, "Our woods and waters, our open field(s), our historic and cultural heritage, our picturesque downtowns and working waterfronts, and our tradition of public access to private lands" are treasures that are imperiled by "the selling off of our industrial forest, the decline of agricultural lands, the arrival of large-scale national retailers, the spreading out of homes and schools across the landscape, the buying up of coastal, riverfront and lakefront lands, and the lack of investment in our downtowns."
