Pilot Grove Farm was named by its founder Abijah Warren, in 1782.   After he acquired its land in Stow, Warren learned that ship pilots in Boston used the stand of pines on his hill as a landmark for navigation. Boston is over twenty miles away from the farm.
The Warren family has been operating it ever since.  Sheep, beef cattle, chickens, and hay are some of the things raised and grown there.  This view is southward from Crescent Street and it shows the barn overlooked by tall pine trees which may be in the location of the original "pilot grove." My painting is six by six inches, oil on stretched canvas.
