Reflecting on the changes and history in Byron and Hatch Hill

Prompted by a new house replacing the old Hatch home below Hatch Hill, Pam recalls a long-gone drive-in theater nearby. She retells the story of early settlers Wilder and Patty Hatch from Patty’s own recollections of homesteading, early widowhood and building a stone house, and reflects on how easily local history fades.
