About Waters Farm

Waters Farm sits on a hill in Sutton and was built in 1757 by Stephen Waters. The property includes barns, outbuildings, and about 120 acres of farmland, with views over Lake Manchaug. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Volunteers maintain the farm through Waters Farm Preservation, Inc., working with the John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission. The farm holds special events during the year and offers tours by appointment, and its grounds show visitors how farm life in nineteenth-century New England worked.
