You are at Pratt Farm, one of Marshfield's earliest farms, now a key habitat for brook trout. Be sure to stop and read all about this hidden gem. Zenas Brook flows into the South River. It is one of the few cold water streams in Marshfield, key habitat for eastern brook trout. The brook is thought to be named for Zenas Thomas, who was born in 1742, and who in 1765 owned the farm (the old Arthur Howland family farm) across the street from where Pratt Farm is today. For many years Zenas Brook was impounded, creating a small pond on Pratt Farm.
