继13日上午，我们来到位于1040Hardscrabble

Road. Jesse Kipp house参观后，14日上午我们又来到，1130Hardscrabble Road. Lambert Kipp house参观,进入院子大门后才发现这里已经成为私人住宅,而历史故居并不开放，在故居的外面盖起了更为壮观的新居但并非Kipp家族的房产。尽管如此,作为历史故居保存完好,现在的主人在它旁边盖上了新房看护好这座历史民居。

Lambert calledhis estate HemlockGrove, for the large standofhemlocks on the rocky knollbehind the house.
