Martha L. Nickerson was not only the donor of the 48 acres of land that is now the Nickerson Walking Woods Preserve. Her life was filled with accomplishments. She held a doctorate in education and served as a school librarian and teacher, not only in Attleboro, but at U.S. military installations around the globe. On her travels she excelled at photography, capturing what she saw in color slides. At least 2 of her photos have decorated Xmas trees as the subject.
Martha L. Nickerson lived on this farm for her entire life. Her parents kept cows and chickens–selling milk, eggs, and produce locally. A field where hay and corn was once grown is now maintained as meadow habitat. A small pond where ice was once harvested is now a vernal pool. An exhibit at the trailhead explains what animals and plants you are likely to see in each of the four seasons. It is a beautiful walk through nature.
