This parcel was purchased by the Town in 2011. In 2012 the Town, the Orleans Conservation Trust, AmeriCorps Cape Cod, and community volunteers worked to rehabilitate and restore the ecological integrity of the site, which was formerly used for farming. This was important because the Historical Commission identified the parcel to be “significant to the history of the Town of Orleans”. Today the parcel is being maintained as an early succession field habitat. The parking area is located at the back of the courthouse via a dirt road.
