Wyman descendants from far and wide visited the house in 2016. And in late October we were visited by members of NEARA (New England Antiquities Research Assn.) who studied the stone chamber on the property, deeming it likely built by native Americans.
As is our practice, we recognized those FWA members who donated recently to the Association.
