Back in the 50’s when the Dr. Norman and Eileen Hoelzel family owned the property, I used to ride my bike from Cottage st to mow the grass on their property. Norman had a small powerful tractor that pulled a three gang reel mower to mow the hillsides and the entire property when there was no development in the back area.. As a young teenager I learned to drive on that tractor. Many years later my wife and I raised our 4 kids at 132 Main St for 37 years. Just some history!
