Former Orchard at Bennett Hill Farm ...
This orchard is no longer producing as far as I can tell, although maybe it's still part of Bennett Farm which is now a separate privately owned parcel from Bennett Hill.
Taken on Sunday April 17, 2011 at Bennett Hill Preserve.
More about Bennett Hill Preserve...
This 155 acre property was a gift of Dr. Jerry Bilinski of North Chatham in 1998 to the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy. The hill towers over Clarksville, and stands only a short distance from the base of the Helderberg Escarpment. Although the top of the hill is only 400 feet above the surrounding land, it offers striking views of the Helderbergs to the north and west, and Albany to the east.
