Prior to being divided up into aprox 8 mansion lots, that property was Camp Alton, a boy's camp, from aprox 1937-1992, and prior to that, a horse farm. Sometime in the mid 1990's the voters of Alton voted no to purchasing Camp Alton and making it a town park. Supposedly, it was sold to a real estate developer with a conservation easement but the easement was not too effective.

Does anyone know any of the story about this easement or the town vote like an old newspaper article or some attorney's recollection?
