Did you know that 1000 beef cattle once roamed Fair Hill?
William du Pont, Jr. had an extensive cattle operation on the property
that would later become the Fair Hill Natural Resource Management
Area. Hear the story and learn the effect on the Fair Hill area.
Join local historian Mark Barczewski for a trip back in time with lots
of pictures. If you have personal experience with the cattle
operation please join us and share.
