Welcome to the Virginia Hurd Morin Preserve which includes the Reverend Moses Sweat Homestead!
Virginia Hurd Morin, who passed away in 2022 at age 99, bequested 95 acres of undisturbed woodland (which encompassed the Reverent Sweat 1786 Homestead) and the means with which to restore the property to the Mousam Way Land Trust. In conjunction with the Sanford-Springvale Historical Society, a restoration plan was developed with work started on this lower School Street property in January, 2023. If you would like to view this well documented process, go to www.sweatmorinhomestead.org/ Now, two and a half years later (June, 2025), I'd say about 80 per cent of the restoration is done including development of at least half of the planned trails. So....it's time to introduce geocachers to this incredible gift to Sanford.
This cache marks the official parking area for the Virginia Hurd Morin Preserve. It's a straight forward, classic hide.
