A Visit with Cornelia Warren

Sunday, September 16, 2 - 4 p.m. 

Patriots' Trail Girl Scouts Cedar Hill Campus Conference Room

265 Beaver Street, Waltham

>From the 1850s on, the S. D. Warren family acquired land in Waltham. The
largest tract was located on both sides of Beaver Street just east of the
Lyman Estate lands. This tract, the Warrens' homestead, was known as Cedar
Hill. Upon the death of her mother, Cornelia Warren acquired Cedar Hill and
ran a successful farm and dairy operation there. She was a leader in the
development of sustainable agriculture with innovative uses of the property.
Ever the philanthropist, she instructed her trustees to partition the Cedar
Hill estate and give the lands to institutions which would preserve the
lands for public education and enjoyment. In spite of changes to ownership
of the former Cedar Hill estate, the people of Waltham continue to benefit
from her largesse. Learn about what Cornelia was like and about Cedar Hill
then and now. WLT Board Member Lesya Struz will portray Cornelia. 


This event is free and open to the public. We look forward to seeing you
there!
