Community Trail Farm

“We in the United States are leading such busy, strenuous lives that recreation has become an absolute necessity. We are in a hurry all the time. If we are going to keep pace with our civilization, we must give the public an outlet in the great outdoors.” – Louis H. Pammel, 1924
