Sugarmaking
A
short distance behind the sugarhouse and barn are the Medicine
Caves. The late Abenaki Chief Leonard "Blackie"
Lampman's grandmother, Martha born in 1868, visited the caves
throughout her life. The area was well known to the native
inhabitants as having an abundance of herbs used to make
medicines. For some families, it was known as a healing
place.
"A five minute hike through the sugarwoods and you will be
at the caves. When you enter the Medicine Caves, close your eyes
and feel the presence of a magnificent, past history.
