The Old Entrance Road

 

Image: The Old Entrance Road

 

This photo, probably taken in the 1930’s, shows the old entrance road to Rocky Beach Farm. Access to the farm at that time was primarily via this road which extended out to Mountain Road.

Visible over Annette Thoms shoulder is the end of the main house which stood facing Mother’s Garden. The two large mulberry trees visible at the end of the road would have been somewhere in the vicinity of the present information center. These trees were destroyed by Hurricane Hazel (1954).
