Frog Meadow Farmhouse
|
200 years ago the entire village of Newfane sat on top of Newfane Hill, just a few feet from Scott and Dave’s house. There was a jail and courthouse, two hotels, and a pillory! Then in about 1820 the whole shebang was moved 1000 vertical feet and 2 miles down to the present site of Newfane Village.
Fast forward to 1995 when Scott and Dave were searching for the perfect home site. Dave had lived in Newfane off and on for 25 years at that point and when the piece of land where Frog Meadow farm now sits came on the market it was love at first sight.
The property was covered by thick brush and trees, and there was a 200-year-old house foundation (from the old village) with 3-foot diameter trees growing out of it. But, when Dave climbed a tree and saw the view, it was all over but the building.
So now Scott and Dave had this great place, and it needed a name. So one Thanksgiving as Dave was preparing the menu and printing it up for fun, he put “Frog Meadow Farm” at the top of the menu, reasoning that there were frogs in the pond, which was surrounded by meadow, and while it isn’t exactly a farm (yet anyway), two out of three ain’t bad. Scott loved it, and the name stuck. |
