Member Profile:Scott and Donna Bonno

摘要

Early in life Scott Bonno fell in love with the woods down the hill. As a child, he cut wood and hauled water with his father and younger brother for a neighbor who had been injured and could no longer work. By the time he was a teen, he dreamed of buying the land in Pierrepont Township in the St. Lawrence County foothills of the Adirondacks. After the Civil War, the property was the first homestead of Marcus Crossman, who carved a farm out of the forest and used the timber for building the home andbarns. His son, Ora, started a sugarbush that produced sap for decades. Ora's son, Howard, worked the land until 1961 when injuries prevented him from running the farm.
