Gracie's Possum Runs Up the Tree


I thought Gracie had a dead squirrel, but it was a very live possum. I leashed the dog, and the baby possum high tailed it up the tree and held on for dear life.

A Visit to Taylor-Bray Farm

The Taylor-Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port was originally settled in 1639 by Richard Taylor. The farm remained in the Taylor family until 1896 when George and William Bray, two brothers who had worked for the Taylors, purchased the property. The Brays continued to operate a working farm and were often seen selling their strawberry crop from a wheelbarrow on Old King’s Highway. After George Bray’s death in 1941, the farm’s ownership changed hands several times until 1987 when the Yarmouth Town Meeting voted to purchase the farm “for historic preservation and conservation” purposes.

The farm, a rare survivor of a type of property that once characterized north side agricultural development, was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1993.
