Connemarra Farm/High Hill Farm is a historic farm consisting of a 2.5 story Georgian farmhouse, a large double barn, a carriage house, a creamery, and various smaller outbuildings.
Early records of this farm refer to it as Concord Hill Nursery when it was owned by the Peters family from 1845-1903. It is likely it was a fruit tree nursery. The carriage house, brick farmhouse substructure, and barn foundation was from this era.
Lawrence Beebe was the architect for this property in 1903, and was the principal barn builder for this region. The house was damaged by a fire in 1903, and the barn in 1910. George Haenn owned the property at this time, and the primary use of the farm changed from a nursery to a dairy operation.
John Giblin owned the property In later years. He was a Korean War veteran that received the four Bronze Stars, the United Nations Service Medal, and the Distinguished Unit Medal. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 during their ownership.
