Woodburn an additional rustic scene from this Connecticut farm
About Hunt Hill FarmThe legacy of orchestra conductor and composer Skitch Henderson, and his wife, Ruth, is being revived at the late couple’s former property in New Milford, Connecticut. Alessandro Piovezahn and his wife, Daniele, purchased Hunt Hill Farm, which dates back to 1707 and encompasses three farms. In addition to continuing the former owners’ vision, they created The Henderson Center for Excellence for Youth Empowerment in 2020. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this destination is often referred to as Silo Country. |
