Spanning 124 acres, Crown Farm Preserve offers a glimpse into Hopkinton’s agricultural and cultural history. The northern hillsides, once open pasture, have long since grown back to forest, while the southern hilltop along Tomaquag Road remains active hay fields. Between them lies a broad wetland complex—once a cranberry bog—where generations of local children skated in winter.

Two small cemeteries lie within the preserve, the larger of which is Native American, reflecting the long human history of this landscape. Today, Crown Farm’s mix of field, forest, and wetland provides valuable wildlife habitat and illustrates the layers of change that define southern Rhode Island’s countryside.
