THE STONE WALLS AT FORT HILL

FORT HILL ELDER HOUSING HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL OLD STONE WALLS.

THE WALLS COULD POSSIBLY DATE BACK TO THE TIME OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THE GILBERT FAMILY. IT WAS USED AS A FARM. THEY SUPPLIED FOOD TO THE COLONISTS" ARMY.

THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT A SAGAMORE OF THE MOHEGAN TRIBE SAID THAT MOHEGANS ACTUALLY BUILT THE WALLS, A LONG TIME AGO.

PLEASE, LOOK AT THE PICTURES, REALIZING THAT OUR ANCESTORS DID THIS.
