The eccentric William Gillette, among his many idiosyncracies, in 1914 constructed for himself a mansion, styled to a confused marriage between Belle Époque sensibilities and Transylvanian macabre. As is by now well known, he employed various architectural oddities, with hidden passages, elaborate door locks, and a 3 mile long rail track.

Due North of former Ed Bill's Pond

The small valley behind my house, formed by the mini creek which feeds into the river, is home to many quantities of large granite rock, deposited in prehistoric times some 20,000 years ago . A large depression, slightly to the left off screen, was dug in the 1930s as a stone quarry for a dam, which formed a pond in the valley just ahead.
