Thanks for the photos of old New Ipswich. Those maple trees were larger when we moved to town in 1958, and sadly those on the downhill side starting to die from the effects of road salt runoff. We lived next door to the Barrett mansion but as children didn't know that we are distantly related to the Charles Barrett family. I used to play with Butch Burseil, son of the resident caretakers, and he showed me the secret tunnel leading from the barn into their wing of the house.
