Another View of Worcester's Winter Hill Farm

Update December 9, 2019


-- Views of Winter Hill Farm


My memoir, "Worcester's Winter Hill Farm," tells the story of growing up in Worcester in the late 1950s and early 1960s on a farm property that featured horses, sheep, chickens, hayfields and a fun place to grow up.

This photograph is a composite of two pictures taken directly in front of the house at 92 West Chester Street. As of today, the house is still there, but the giant tree and the barn are gone. A house replaced the barn many years after we moved away.

The cover photograph on the memoir is a different angle, which features the side of the house and the prominent "back" staircase. It was this door that we used to go in and out of the house. The front door was only a place to let the mail carrier drop off letters. My sister, Eljay, is the custodian of these photos. She has others as well. 

In this photo, Lily, Marna, and Paige pose with a copy of the book. I dedicated the book to Lily, Paige, and my other niece, Jean Nicole. The three of them are the children of my siblings that grew up on the farm. Some of the stories told in the book may help them understand their parents as well as me.
