Funds lacking to preserve Long Island Farm property in Baltimore County

(Towson Times) The dream of preserving the historic Long Island Farm in the Cromwell Valley area may be slipping away. If it does, "it will be a gigantic loss for historical preservation," said Trish Bentz, executive director of the Baltimore County Historical Trust.
Jim Kelly said he thinks about the farm "with great sadness." Kelly heads the executive committee for Historic Long Island Farm Inc., a group of citizens that incorporated in 2007 with a mission to protect the rural integrity of the 6.8-acre farm at 2200 Cromwell Bridge Road, which is bordered on three sides by Cromwell Valley Park.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and included in the county's Landmarks Preservation List, the 292-year-old farm has been owned by the Risteau and Jenifer families since 1848. Continued
