Excerpt from A Brief History of the Barre Cattle Shows
About the same distance due north is the splendid new Manor House of Col. William A. Gaston, the President of the Society, in the midst of the thousand or more broad and fertile acres of Killingly Farm. From the hill-top here maybe seen great mountains, Monad nock, Mount Tom, Greylock, and, on a particularly clear day, the Presidential Range, to say nothing of the nearer Wachusett.
