general description
The 35.73 acres (14.5 hectares ) of the former farm is located in the northernmost part of the historic district and is a very well-preserved example of a cultural landscape that is rarely found in this region today. As early as the 1970s, the farm was placed under protection as a museum by a local non-profit organization before it was later included in the NRHP. The farm was once part of Joseph Crowell's estate and was therefore named after him. The terrain, which is crossed by railroad tracks in a north-south direction and a road in an east-west direction, features open fields, stone walls, meadows, and wooded areas between 20 ft (6.1 m ) and 90 ft (27.4 m) above sea level. The grounds include in addition to the approximately 1,775 in the Georgian style built main building and several outbuildings a cattle tunnel under the rails and the kettle hole Crocker Pond with an area of 7.5 acres (3 hectares).
