Geocache Description:

A Geocache/Letterbox hybrid, part of the SVT Letterboxing Challenge 2007

Winterbrook, now known as Wolbach Farm is contiguous with the larger Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. It is used by the Sudbury Valley Trustees as their main office.

In the 1910s, S. Burt Wolbach, a pathologist at the Peter Bent Brigham, and his wife, Anna Wellington Wolbach, purchased the farm, then used as a dairy farm. With the help of the landscaping of Frederick Law Olmstead, of Emerald Necklace Fame, the farm was transformed into a gentleman's farm. Dr. Wolbach kept his hunters in the barn. His very good friend and fishing buddy, Dr. Francis C. Newton, was offered the property of Dale End Farm by the Wolbachs when it came up for sale.

The two families did a lot of planting, both of red pine and hemlocks as well as the invasive rose species that are there.

The farm was named Winterbrook because of the stream that runs in between the two properties. It runs all winter long, and the animals use it for water all winter long.

John Wolbach, the Wolbach's younger son, left his property to the Sudbury Valley Trustees upon his death in 2002, after donating land to help the creation of the inland waterway for migratory birds at Great Meadows. Dale End Farm has so far stayed in the Newton Family, with the main house, guest house and barn all housing Newtons.
