Guernsey Sanctuary
The Guernsey Sanctuary on Sabrina Lake was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William G. Guernsey in 1961. Their initial gift was 13 acres. Subsequently, the Guernseys added another 12 acres to make a total of 25 acres.
At one time this land was part of the fabled Baker Estate with the man-made Sabrina Lake as a recreational feature, complete with a miniature side-wheeler carrying guests on tours around the lake. The Sanctuary includes a pine grove, a deciduous woodland, a vernal pond, an island, a swamp and numerous wildflowers, ferns and club mosses. Be sure to stop at the William Guernsey Memorial Bench and enjoy the view of Sabrina Lake.
