The two Kongscut Land Trust parcels are the Riley Tract and the Swan Estate. The Riley Tract (88.4 acres) was donated by Bernice “Bunny” Swan in 1991 after being in her family ( Strickland) for many generations. The Swan estate parcel (26 acres) was given by Bernice Swan’s heirs, Marian Sauter, Evelyn Chapman, and Donald Taylor. Evelyn Chapman’s share was given in installments over an 11 year period beginning in 1998.
