With decades of history associated with the purchase of land at Walker Pond by the town of Sedgwick for public access purposes, a recent agreement has joined the town of Sedgwick with the town of Brooksville in attaining that end. The two towns, working together, have applied for and received state and federal grants to make the project a reality. Here is a recent listing of information chronicling the process.
