Entrepreneurs and conservationists collaborate at Groton’s Gibbet Hill  

The verdant pastures of Gibbet Hill in Groton were first settled in 1645. The lush countryside remained virtually untouched for over three centuries. But in 2000, the land narrowly escaped being turned into an unsightly housing development. To avoid the calamity, local investors and conservationists joined forces in a novel solution. The result was a lucrative restaurant business that blends seamlessly into an expansive preservation area. The Gibbet Hill property is located off of Lowell Street
