    This is a partial/incomplete listing as I have not yet explored the Hoffman-Matthiessen-DeGerenday Preserve.

    History

    From the Old Lyme Land Trust site:

    "This 40 acre preserve is the result of three generous donations to the Old Lyme Land Trust: 24 acres off Sill Lane donated by John L. Hoffman in 1992 from his parents’ estate, 8 acres on Millpond Lane donated by conservationist Ormsby Hanes Matthiessen in 2001, and another 8 acres on Millpond Lane donated in 2007 by Elisabeth DeGerenday, founder of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.

    The field-stone and shingle house at the top of hill was designed and built by Harry Hoffman (father of John L.), a noted member of the original Old Lyme art colony."
