Damon Preserve

The 37-acre Damon Preserve in Scituate features 1.2 miles of woodland trails, numerous stone walls, and glimpses of open fields, plus occasional glacial erratics, situated on the side of a drumlin hill at the edge of South Swamp. Opened to the public in 2022 and purchased with Community Preservation funds through the Maxwell Land Trust, the land was assembled by Roger Damon in memory of his grandson David William Damon -- a formerly private tree farm turned into a genuinely pleasant public walk.
