Normandy Farms RV Resort, Foxboro, MA

Before it was an RV Resort, it was a working farm dating back to 1759. Francis Daniels an immigrant from the Province of Normandy acquired the 53 acres in 1759. The years have passed, and each succeeding generation has taken its place at Normandy. From dairy farm to chickens, then raising sheep, the families all worked the land first cleared from the wilderness over 230 years ago.

As a note of interest; Donna and I were there at this same park on 9-11 (9-11-2001), I was working outside the coach when Donna's brother, Rick, called and told me to turn on the TV, I saw the second plane fly into the second Trade Tower.

Needless to say, we Americans will never forget that day.....


Much of the pasture and woodlot is now a Campground. In the background is the office/store and guard house.
