This Old Farmhouse...

These two postcards of an old farm-house at Sagamore Beach were published by Adams Pharmacy in Sagamore.

For many years this place was known as the Crowell Farm. Just after the turn of the century, Francis E. Clark, and members of the New England Society of Christian Endeavor purchased most of what is known today as Sagamore Beach. This included the old farmhouse that is located on Crowell Road.

Paul Crowell was the owner of this property when the great Portland storm[?] hit this area in the late 1800s.

The barn, whose stout hand-hewn timbers had withstood the gales for nearly 200 years, succumbed to this mighty gale. It's been said that part of this farmhouse was erected in 1690.

If you can fill in some history or know some of the past or present owners of this property, write a letter to the editor of the Bourne Courier.
