Privately owned land
with a conservation easement, some of the land is currently farmed. The land
under easement
cannot be developed for residential or industrial purposes.
The land consists of open fields and forested land. The portion of the land
north
of Island Pond Road is bisected by West Running Brook. This area along
West Running Brook is thought to be the original location of the first
Scotch-Irish settlement in Derry, originally called “Nutfield.” The Grinnell
Trail, which is open to the public, starts on Humphrey Road and goes
south
through open fields. The trail crosses West Running Brook and Island Pond
Road. The trail then goes south from Island Pond Road and
connects to the
Robert Frost Farm nature trail.
The Town of Derry purchased the easement on the property from the Grinnell family.
