Survey finds 'an anomaly of interest' at Bolton Heritage Farm; commission awaits PAST analysis
Summary
Under a Survey and Planning Grant, PAST conducted ground-penetrating radar and metals testing at Bolton Heritage Farm and reported 'an anomaly of interest'; the commission said specifics have not been shared and is awaiting PAST's synthesis while also pursuing interpretive signage and high-resolution photography.
Chairman Arlene Fiano reported that PAST completed ground-penetrating radar and metals testing at Bolton Heritage Farm under the Survey and Planning Grant and that the work produced "an anomaly of interest," though the commission has not been provided specifics. Fiano said the raw data must be synthesized by PAST before further details are released and that Sarah Nelson will keep the commission updated.
The commission also discussed progress on interpretive signage. Arlene Fiano said she has been in email contact with Cindy Abaco of Wilderness Graphics, who is collecting content and waiting for information and graphics from the NPS for the signage. The commission is seeking high-resolution photos suitable for printed signs; members discussed using a local photographer and exploring drone photography for higher-angle images, and Bonnie Massey and Arlene Fiano said they will ask drone operators they know whether they would be willing to photograph the farm.
No specifics about the nature or location of the anomaly were shared at the meeting, and no formal action or vote was taken; the commission will await PAST's synthesized results and any guidance from the NPS before taking further steps.
