The Gardens of Caroline Barr
Spring is just a few days away and after I awoke and saw that it was only 12 degrees (F) I decided to post something about gardens.
Caroline Barr was a charter member of the New Ipswich Historical Society and founder and major benefactor of the New Ipswich Library. She lived at the Barr Estate until her death in 1922. During that time she created extensive gardens on the grounds. The Estate was completely renovated in 2014 by Russell & Melissa Salo. The plantings are gone, but some remnants remain. The stone bridge can be seen across the stream that runs along the property. These photos were part of an album donated to the New Ipswich Historical Society. Click on photos to view the entire set.
Photos taken of the property in February 27, 2018 by John M Poltrack. Note the stone bridge which is visible in the earlier photos.
