The History of the Acton Arboretum Herb Garden - In 1976-77 the Town of Acton purchased 53 acres of conservation land representing a variety of natural habitats including deep woods, meadows, swampland, a pond, an old apple orchard and a glacial esker. In 1986 an amended town article specified that the land be used for The Acton Arboretum. In 1989 and invitation was extended to the Acton Garden Club to research and develop a period herb garden in a historical foundation on the site.
The land where the foundation in located was owned by the Reed Family prior to the Revolutionary War. The Tuttles later put in an orchard and John Cragin eventually built a house, assumed to have been located on the foundation visible from Taylor Road. After the house was moved, a shed was built to store the orchard and farming equipment. The shed burned down in the 1960's. |
