In a little over a decade, we have had three instances of severe damage to the road and neighboring houses due to log jams at the bridge. The combination of an undersized structure, sitting below a 90 degree turn in the path of the brook, creates havoc with heavy rain events. What has the town been doing to address this problem? Read about our plans here. Videos of 2023 Old Home Days (posted 9/13/23)
