Hale Reservation is private non-profit educational organization with 1,137 acres of land, 20 miles of trails, and four ponds in Westwood and Dover, Massachusetts. Hale Reservation is best known for its summer camps for children and young adults, as well as its year-round educational programs. == History == Work on acquiring Hale land was begun by Robert Sever Hale (brother of Richard Walden Hale, Boston law firm founder) in the early 1900s. In 1918 he established a formal tie with the Boy Scouts of America and began the organization. In 1926, the organization became known as the Dover-Westwood Scout Reservation of the Boston Council. Twenty acres were opened as a scout camp during that year as Camp Storrow as well. The Dover-Westwood Scout Reservation continued to acquire land through the 1930s. In 1930, the organization was named Scoutland. In 1941, Robert Sever Hale died and Scoutland was renamed the Robert Sever Hale Camping Reservation in his honor. In 1993, the organization's name was shortened to the current Hale Reservation. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://halereservation.org/nr_history_hale.html )〕 Hale Reservation's land includes numerous ponds and streams, miles of trails, a 3,600 B.C. Native American feldsite quarry and multiple stone walls and foundations from colonial era farm houses. Many of Hale's "wide" trails were originally dirt roadways used by oxen teams to drag granite blocks from multiple abandoned granite quarries, en-route to construction sites in Dedham, Boston and beyond.
