"He has sold 83 acres of the property which means the house and domain, the old Page site which I had planted with trees and the bluff across the river. The government has announced that the garden is to be kept as formerly and the house to serve in time as a museum. The bluff to be used as a camping ground and the Page triangle piece of ground as a picnic park. I think if these plans are adhered to that if it was not held for the family as I intended it should be, it all seems better than I had believed would be possible." Elsie Reford to Michael Reford, 1961
