Whitney and Thayer Woods is a 834 acres (338 ha) nature reserve and forest located in Cohasset and Hingham, Massachusetts. The property is owned by The Trustees of Reservations.[1][2] It is adjacent to the Weir River Farm, also owned by The Trustees, and Turkey Hill,[3] a town-owned property managed by The Trustees. The woods include 10 miles (16 km) of walking trails.[1]
History
In the 17th century, the “Common Lands of the Hingham Planters” was divided into long strips for logging and farming.[4]
