It started in 1635 and has been farmed by the same family ever since, but now the next generation wants to do something else. It is located in Dover New Hampshire so I'll bet the land is quite valuable.

After 11 generations, there must be thousands of descendants of the first Tuttle family somewhere in the US. Will and his sisters are merely the residue of one stem of one limb of one branch of one main spur of the family tree. Maybe I should do a bit more intensive search of my own family tree. Perhaps I'm 1/512 Tuttle.

I bet after a week sitting on his front porch drinking tea he'll be bored out of his mind and want it back.
