Windham Life and Times – February 14, 2025

This property was owned by Richard and Barbara Fellows for many years after they purchased it from Perley Knowlton in 1946. This farm’s land stretchs across Route 111 and included where the municipal buildings are today. The name of the farm on the sign over the door is “Brookside” which is appropriate since Collins Brook ran through the property. Here’s to hoping that the improvements to Route 111 will again make the “brookside” a focal point of the drive through the center of Windham. The house was built in 1750 by Robert Hemphill whose family lived here until 1880 when it was purchased by James Cochran.
