Description
An account of the resource
Maple Corners is a small settlement in the northern part of Granville developed along the road to Blandford (Beech Hill Road) in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. <br /><br />A Methodist meeting house (the first west of the Connecticut River) was erected in the area in 1797. There is a small monument located where the meeting house once stood. <br /><br />A toll road was proposed through the area in 1802, but was never funded. The construction of the Borden Brook reservoir (1909) flooded much of the farmland in the area. <br /><br />Today the area is best known for known for:<br /><ul><li>Bliss Farms, a beautiful event venue on a 50 acre restored farm <a href="https://blissfarmevents.com/">https://blissfarmevents.com/</a><br /><br /></li>
<li>Maple Corner Farm, an equally beautiful farm specializing in pure maple products, blueberries, quality hay, and seasonal cross country skiing <a href="https://maplecornerfarm.com">https://maplecornerfarm.com</a> </li>
