 Preservation of a Critical Historic Landscape and View – Town ownership of these lots will preserve the last unprotected, privately-owned section of a critically-important historic landscape constituting the core of the Dickinson National Historic Register District. This landscape extends along the north side of Main Street from Sweetser Park on the west to the Leonard and Henry Hills mansion grounds on the east. The current owners are clearing their portion of the overgrown hedge line between the two properties to restore and enhance this view. Permanent protection of this view of the Henry Hills mansion will be obtained under historic preservation agreements being negotiated for the mansion lot (#6) and one other adjacent lot (#3).  Future Historic Landscape Park – The Historical Commission is proposing the acquisition and preservation of these lots as an open historic landscape park to: 1) preserve the eastern entrance into the Dickinson District, 2) provide a potential historic interpretive site along the street edge, and 3) preserve green space that will complement and balance the commercial development south across Main Street
