A trip down memory lane to Shepard Farm

This 1995 picture captures three generations of the Carpentier family at the Shepard Farm resort in Westerlo.

To the Editor:

I have pulled up a couple of articles you’ve written about Shepard Farm, which overall are nice to read. One comment I would like to make is that Shepard Farm closed  after 1995, not in the 1980s.

I am attaching a picture from when my family visited my wife’s grandparents there in 1995. The picture is of my daughter (born in 1991 and 4 years old at the time) along with her grandfather and great-grandfather.

The picture is in the dance hall, which also was the ice cream parlor. My wife’s grandparents summered there for over 40 years at least.

I hope all is great with you. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
