This 118-acre tract along Standing Stone Creek features remarkable stands of old-growth forest, including hemlock, white pine, and yellow birch. Interspersed among these ancient trees is a layer of younger growth, such as white oak, red maple, rhododendron, black gum, and pignut hickory.
Unlike many surrounding areas, this landscape was largely spared from logging in the late 19th century, allowing it to retain its ecological integrity. In 1921, it was formally preserved for its scientific, scenic, and educational significance. The site is associated with Alan Seeger, an American war poet, Harvard graduate, and uncle of folk singer Pete Seeger.
