"Robinson (now Buckley) Farm"

History of the "Robinson/Buckley Barn"

Date - "Robinson Farm"

Horse racing was popular at the beginning of the century. There was sulky racing in the Bend and a half-mile track on the Robinson Farm [now Buckley] where Andrew Hill trained "Terrible Sid" and "Hanniker Girl." Racing fans also frequented a track behind Ward Bailey's farm [now LeBlanc] on Hardwick Street. The "Street" itself often became a "drag strip" as sleighs or buggies raced the two-mile straightaway. Old-timers also recall a lot of hooting' and hollering' and racing by sleighs on Caspian Lake in winter. - pg. 88
