Three Parcels on Red Hill Road Given by the Sullivans

Richard and Leocadia Sullivan have given three adjacent parcels of land totalling three acres on Red Hill Road in memory of Sullivan's mother, Eugenia Wallace Sullivan.

A high granite cliff dominates the land. Large fragments of granite that have broken away over time lie on the slope beneath the cliff on which mountain laurel grows.

Sullivan said that he was planning to put house lots on this site but that he fell in love with it and decided not to destroy it by developing it. He explained that his mother had strong Stony Creek roots and used to walk to work from the trolley stop at Leete's Island Road and Boston Post Road to the village of Stony Creek.

Bill Horne, President of the Land Trust said, "We are delighted to accept this land from Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan. Not only does it contain a spectacular granite ledge, but it adds to the area protected by the Quarry Preserve."
