Description
English:

An orchard in winter is a row of small, leafless trees growing in an area of yellow grass.

The Hartwell area is part of the Battle Road Unit, which preserves the sites of the April 1775 Battle of Lexington and Concord and the start of the Revolutionary War. By that time, much of the land had been cleared for agricultural use and orchards. A number of cider orchards were maintained in the early history of the Battle Road, including one east of the Hartwell Tavern, one southeast of the William Smith House, and at least two orchards located in the western portion of the Hartwell area. The configuration and types of agricultural uses and crops changed over the years in response to changing markets. The historic homestead cider orchard has been replanted East of the Hartwell Tavern, though only seven small trees are currently present, and the orchard does not currently contribute to the historic character of the site.
