Mother: Rebecca SIMMONS |
Much of the Homestead’s significance lies in its rich and
colorful history, a history that predates European colonization
by thousands of years. It is a history shaped by the land - by
its abundance of wildlife, fertile soil, surface waters and
opportunity.
The Pilgrim George Soule must have recognized what the land had
to offer when he joined together with 25 other men to buy a
large parcel from the Wampanoag Indians in 1662. Although he
never settled his piece, which lay primarily in what is now E.
Middleborough, his grandson James, built a home there. The house
was burned to the ground during King Philip’s War (1675-76) and
a second house was built at the end of Thornton’s Lane (Winter
Street Extension). That house also burned in the 1720’s. Nothing
remains of those early dwellings.
So many of James’ descendants stayed in the area during the next
three centuries that it became known as the Soule Neighborhood.
Children were educated in the one-room Soule Schoolhouse on
Winter Street and their parents had their horses shod by one of
three Soule farriers. They bought bricks from Jonathon Soule,
lumber from E. Everett Soule, duck eggs from Charles H. Soule,
and were likely married by Augustus Soule, a Justice of the
Peace.
It was Augustus Soule who, in the mid -1800’s, built the house
and barn that are now part of the Soule Homestead Education
Center. He most likely used lumber cut from his sawmill across
the street to construct the 17 room house and 90-foot long barn.
The upper floor of the two-story barn was first used to house
animals with the loft being used for hay storage. However, when
several cows fell through the old wooden floor in 1954, the
basement was converted into a modern dairy operation with a
conveyor belt to remove the manure and the upper floor was used
for hay storage.
Augustus’ daughter, Irene, who was born in the house in 1865,
married Albert Deane on October 3, 1894. They lived at the farm
and when her parents died, its name was changed to the Deane
Farm. The Holsteins grazed contentedly in the lush green fields.
The cheerful yellow house with its forest green shutters and the
east and west additions to the barn were all signs that the
dairy business was prospering in Middleborough, as indeed it was
with the more than 100 dairies in the town at the turn of the
century.
Mr. Deane needed help to milk the cows and hay the fields and he
found a lifelong assistance and friend in his neighbor, Columbo
Guidoboni. Columbo was tired of working inside, and he quit his
job at the George E. Keith Shoe Shop to become a farm hand. The
Deanes thought so highly of Columbo that they bequeathed the
farm to him when they died, Albert in 1949 and Irene nine years
later.
Columbo's son, Donald, and his wife, Mary, moved into the second
floor apartment in 1954 for "$10.00 a month rent and all the
milk and eggs (they) could eat." Columbo and his wife, Doris,
moved in downstairs in 1958 and lived at the farm for the
remainder of their lives.
They worked hard and built up a herd of 120 cows in the 1960’s.
Milking began at 6 a.m. and took two hours to finish. The
process was repeated at 3:30 p.m.
In 1983, Donald sold the cows to two young men, who continued
the dairy operation at the farm. Donald continued haying the
fields for income - putting up 8,000 to 10,000 bales each year -
for another five years. Meanwhile, he had three or four offers a
week on the property from developers. Knowing that the dairy
industry was in trouble in the area, he decided to sell, but it
was the town of Middleborough, through a town meeting vote, not
a developer, that acquired the farm to maintain it as
agricultural open space.
Four years later, the Soule Homestead Education Center, Inc., a
non-profit organization formed specifically to restore the farm
and develop it into an agro-ecology education center, signed a
ten-year lease with the town for 90 acres on the Middleborough
portion. And so, the farm is once again playing an active, vital
role in the community, teaching children and adults alike about
their connections with the earth.
