It is believed that Charles
Sanderson started farming here around 1820. Until the farm was
sold in the early 197os, different
generations of Sandersons cared
for this land. Always mindful of the ever-changing sand dunes, they
helped to shape the landscape.
Many of the old fields and woodlots
that you see
evidence of their efforts.The old birch trees that you see before you mark the site of the
Sandersons' farmstead. The last Sanderson to own the farm was
Cyril, a great grandson of Charles,
who took over the farm in 1939 at
the age of 14. After the land was
sold, the buildings gradually fell
into ruin and the house was eventually torn down in 1997.

Charles Sanderson a commencé à cultiver ici vers 1820, et plusieurs
générations de Sanderson se sont
succédé sur la ferme jusqu'à ce
qu'elle soit vendue au début des
années 1970. Toujours attentifs au
mouvement incessant des dunes,
les Sanderson ont aidé à façonner ce paysage, et bon nombre des
vieux champs et des boisés sont

des signes évidents de leur travail. Les vieux bouleaux qui sont
devant vous marquent l'emplacement



de la ferme. Le dernier
Sanderson à l'occuper, Cyril, un
arrière-petits-fils de Charles, en a
pris possession en 1939, à l'âge de
14 ans. Après la vente de la terre,
les bâtiments se sont détériorés peu à peu et la maison a été
démolie en 1997.

peninsula was a good area for growing as
the surrounding ocean protected the land
from frost and the growing season lasted
longer in the fall. They grew crops such as
hay, grain and potatoes and raised animals
Such as chickens, hogs, sheep and cattle.

péninsule se prêtait bien aux cultures, parce
que l'océan protégeait la terre du gel et que
la saison de croissance se prolongeait plus
tard à l'automne. Les Sanderson cultivaient
le foin, les céréales et la pomme de terre, et
élevaient des animaux, tels poulets, porcs, moutons et bovins.
