Worcesters Winter Hill Farm PDF Download

Richard Wright's memoir, Worcester's Winter Hill Farm, shares stories about his growing up on an urban farm and how it came to be an integral part of discovering who he is today. Richard's view of his life at Worcester's Winter Hill Farm frames an important part of his childhood, particularly as it relates to the constant state of surprise and wonderment that accompanies his adventures with animals, friends, family, school, and his emerging interest in technology and science. From the age of eight to 13, Richard spent each day with one foot on the farm and one foot in the future. His reflection on farm life in the "city" is a humorous and touching acknowledgment that part of who he is today was firmly shaped by growing up on Worcester's Winter Hill Farm in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
