Kenrose Preserve, with its 1.4-mile trail, offers a look at successional forest growth in old farmland. The land at this site, which was at the western boundary of Van Rensselaer Manor, was the site of grain, potato, and hop farms in the 18th century. While many neighboring farms were abandoned early in the 1900s, some cultivation continued at Kenrose into the 1950s.
