| 释义 |
LifeCaroline Rose Foster was the daughter of Charles Grant Foster (1843-1927) and Emma Louise Thompson.[3] In 1881 her father bought a Morris County farm from General Joseph Warren Revere, a grandson of Paul Revere. He renamed it Fosterfields, and from 1881 to 1915 developed it as a farm breeding Jersey cattle. In 1927 Caroline Foster inherited the farm, and preserved it as a working farm using the farm practices of her childhood. In 1974 she arranged to bequeath it to the Morris County Park Commission to be preserved as a "living historical farm", the first in New Jersey.[4] She died aged 102 in 1979.

"To enter Fosterfields, a working farm since 1760 and New Jersey's first living, historical farm, is to magically step back into the 19th and early 20th centuries. Walking amidst the tall Norway Spruces, it is easy to imagine life in the days of Caroline Foster, who lived there for 98 years, until her death at the age of 102 in 1979.... Fosterfields Living Historical Farm is located at 73 Kahdena Road, Morristown, NJ, just off County Route 510 (formerly Route 24), 1-1/4 miles west of the Morristown Green." {{DEFAULTSORT:Foster, Caroline Rose}}2. ^Honorees: 2010 National Women’s History Month 3. ^Lynne Mayo, SMITH / THOMPSON / FOSTER MORRISTOWN NEW JERSEY 4. ^Friends of Fosterfields: The Farm {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723215923/http://friendsoffosterfields.org/the-farm |date=July 23, 2011 }} 7 : 1877 births|1979 deaths|Farmers from New Jersey|American philanthropists|American conservationists|People from Morristown, New Jersey|American women farmers |
