Mt Hope Farm links to historic figures in register
Mt Hope Farm 375 acres and a house once owned by Gay William Bradford are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Now owned by Rudolf F Haffenreffer III, the site ties to King Philip, Benjamin Church, Nathaniel Byfield, Isaac Royall Jr, William Bradford, George Washington, James DeWolf and others across the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Located off Metacom Ave, the farm is the ancestral Wampanoag home where King Philip was killed in 1676. The main house dates to about 1745 1840 and 1890, and Washington once visited for a week after Bradford’s retirement.
