The 190-acre Picone Farm is one of Middleboro’s largest remaining areas of prime farmland. The property includes approximately 6,000 feet of frontage on the Nemasket River, scenic rolling fields, a pond, several pockets of mature woodland, a small stream, protected farmland with community gardens, and walking trails extending into the adjacent Town-owned Peter Oliver Estate. Following our walk, we will tour the historic home to learn about the Loyalists who lived there and notable guests who visited.

Our guide, Ellenor Simmons, brings 32 years of state parks experience to TRWA as a former Southcoast Field Operations Team Leader and park supervisor with the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation. In her retirement, she enjoys leading both our walks and our Diamondback Terrapin Nest Protection Program.
