History to Marshfield’s Audubon

As talked about in my previous post, Marshfield’s Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary, commonly referred to as the Audubon, is now used for scenic walks, bird watching, conservation education, and much much more. Before this though in the 1800’s, Walton Hall, the owner of the land and the Webster estate, used it for his dairy cattle to graze upon. It was passed down through the family until given to the Massachusetts Audubon Association, which takes care of it and runs its programs to this day. For years to come, this will be a highlight of our town not only for its beauty, but for its educational purposes as well.
