The estate here was taken into the care of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service from the family of John Hay, the personal secretary to Abraham Lincoln at his wish that it should become a wildlife sanctuary. You can visit the house and gardens, known as 'The Fells', and take a walk through the woodlands on the marked trails.
