The Carriage Road was once an Avenue of Elm Trees planted
in 1816 by the eldest son of Joseph Peabody. The graceful
arching elm trees were lost to disease in the 1950s and replaced
in the 1970s with pin oaks. In 1859, George Peabody, son of
Joseph, agreed to relocated the Newburyport Turnpike (Route 1)
to the west, if the Town would discontinue the use of the avenue
as a public road. |
