THE FARM T LONG LAKE <br />In the early 1870's, an employee of the Great Northern Railroad <br />built a summer home on the northwest corner of Long Lake. This res;'jence, <br />located on approximately 70 acres of rolling, wooded farmland in what is now <br />the Village of Orono, was purchased in the 1930's by the Hartweil fam;;y. <br />Over the years, the Hartwell's enjoyed many summers on "The Farm" while over- <br />seeing a small dairy operation year round. <br />In 1970, John Hartwell and Tim Adams undertook to winterize the <br />original homestead and establish a facility for boarding horses - steps wh'ch <br />led to year round enjoyment of "The Farms" environment by more and more people. <br />In 1977, Hartwell and Adams formed a Partnership to preserve and further develop <br />this unique environment for up to 20 additional families interested in building <br />a home at "The Farm." <br />"The Farm" is blessed with natural amenities - including fro;-tage <br />on Long Lake, natural wetlands, two creek beds providing natural drainage, <br />several distinct wooded areas (including "sugar bush" of Maple trees over- <br />looking the lake), and rolling pastures c Have, over the years, provided <br />feed for "The Farm's" animals and open space for children of all ages. <br />We think "The Farm at Long Lake" can be one of the area's rewark- <br />able living environments and look forward to work'ng with the City of Orono and <br />interested future residents to make this possible. <br />--_�V <br />Timothy Ada/pl hn .
