<p>George Dorr loved this place and gave his life to it. His great fortune dwindled to almost nothing from his passion for the park. He died with hardly enough money for his burial having used all of it to secure the National Park. I am appalled that his home 'Old Farm' was torn down in the early 1950's. I guess it was just a different time and attitude toward preservation. Today it would have been maintained, restored if necessary and preserved as an example of the "cottages" of the island and a central place in the creation of the park. Only of course if congress would approve the money which may be doubtful given the way they are currently acting.</p>
