Finding the hill
From the Marrow Brook green
- Head north on Old Post Road, past Pruitt's Feed.
- Rumble over the red covered bridge.
- Take the first right at the big sycamore onto Hollow Hill Road.
- Follow the stone wall to the top. Park on the grass by the barn.
If you can see the reservoir, you missed the turn. It happens to everybody once.
Barn line: (860) 555-0142
Hollow Hill is a made-up farm, so the number and the town are made up too.
