At a rest area on Route 302, just south of the village.

Settled in 1766 by Jaastel Harriman whose cabin was near the Great Rock. His nine year old daughter Mercy carried dirt in her apron to the top of this unique rock formation. Here she planted corn, pumpkins and cucumbers, making the first garden in town.

Three well-preserved covered bridges are to be found here. Among its many fine homes is the Federal Mansion built by Moses P. Payson in 1810.

A footpath leads from this location to Mercy's garden.
