This location was once a farm. Dr. Carpenter was a World War II war hero, awarded for bravery with the Congressional Medal of Honor. He served in the Army Medical Corp., then with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). He is credited with rescuing over 500 airmen of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and American airmen flying over Europe who were shot down by the Nazis and kept by the partisans. He organized an OSS troop, parachuted behind enemy lines, and got the servicemen out on planes. He served for 7 years, having volunteered as a young doctor and completing his training after. The Carpenter farm was once an active farm with barns, a water tower, and a large residential structure.
Now mostly a grassy meadow, after rains there can be significant puddles and mud. Bring your dog for a fun, enclosed romp!
