Hezekiah S. Ramsdell Farm
The Hezekiah S. Ramsdell Farm was a historic farm in Thompson, Connecticut. It was located on what was once known as Ramsdell Road, but is now a hiking trail on the lands surrounding West Thompson Reservoir. The property was made famous by a standoff between the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Alice Ramsdell, the feisty owner of the property who refused to leave after USACE acquired it by eminent domain as part of a flood control project. The dispute, highlighted by an incident in which Mrs. Ramsdell met government officials holding a shotgun, was ended when the government acquiesced to her demand to stay on the property.
The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Following the death of Alice Ramsdell in 1995, the USACE announced plans to demolish the farm. The buildings were rescued and moved to a nearby farm on County Home Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thompson Historical Society Newsletter, Winter 2001 )〕 The original farm site is now accessible via a hiking trail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=West Thompson Lake )〕
