Great Medow
The Great Meadow contains 50 acres and is located near the center
of town between Boston Post Rd. across from Wilkins School
and Jacobsen's Farm on Christian
Hill Road. There is access over land purchased
from the Manchester Catholic Diocese to a short boardwalk into the wetland. The
Meadow is now and has long been covered with alder and other brush, but up to
the middle of the 20th century, it was regularly hayed by town residents.
Beacuse the ground is so wet, haying needed to be done with horses. Heavy
tractors could not be used on the soft ground. With Beaver Brook and Caesar's
Brook flowing through it, it is a natural reservoir for the village water
supply.
In December, 1997, the Amherst Conservation Commission acquired
about 70 acres from Mary and David Dacquino. This property, purchased for
considerably less than the market value at the time, is a vital piece of
property that was once part of the original Johnnycake Farm owned by the Moody
family. The property fronts on both Rt. 101 and Dodge Road. It contains part of the
Bicentennial Trail, developed by Betty Arnold and Thorton Stearns in 1976 to
extend from the Town Barn to Joe English Reservation. The Bicentennial Trail
parallels Dodge Road
as it passes through the Dacquino Parcel and is marked by red trefoils painted
on trees.
Our intent is
to have the land remain wooded for conservation and recreation purposes."
Through deed restriction requested by the Daquinos and management of the
property by the Amherst Conservation Commission, future land development has been prevented.
Access to the Daquino property and the Bicentennial Trail is
available on Dodge Road.
Park on Dodge Road
just south of Crockett Lane,
or at the Southern edge of Jake’s Pond on Dodge Road.
