Moncrieff Cochran Bird Sanctuary

-Views along the Paths-
As the sanctuary changed over the years structures and paths wepe put in place to access the new additions. The dams made the swimming hole and the duck pond possible. The new trees added new species to the sanctuary. Metal lables were added to some trees to educate the visitors as to the trees identity. All the changes have brought us to where we are today. A beautiful natural setting where the visitor may find peace and a quiet spot to sit and rest. With all the changes mankind has made to the area it remains a nearly pristine woodland.

-Thompson Memorial-
This is a memorial to Augustus Porter Thompson, P. A. Class of 1892 and Augustus Porter Thompson, Jr. P. A. Class of 1928. The senior Thompson was the first sanctuary manager and his son sadly died the year after he graduated from Phillips. Located off the main path but on a nature trail, the stone bench and the concave stone, which often held a puddle of water would provide a tranquil spot for school members and townspeople alike. It was placed on the top of a hill to overlook the skyline of the campus. Before the tree and bushes surrounded the bench you could see for miles and miles.
-
-Duck Pond-
This pond was constructed as a natural habitat for water birds. It was down stream from the pond that later became the Bobby Thompson Pond. A duck house was built on its southeastern shore.
-
-Bobby Thompson Pond-
This pond was made into a swimming hole in 1942 and was named for Robert Torrey Thompson, P. A. Class of 1936, who died in a training accident as a member of the Army Air Corps April 9, 1941. It was called the Bobby Thompson Pond and its sandy beach was constructed using sand from Crane's Beach in Ipswich. In 1955, a hot dry summer caused the school to stop pumping fresh water into the pond and it became contaminated and was closed to swimming. This view is from the spillway going from the Bobby Thompason Pond down to the Duck Pond.
-
-Log Cabin-
The Log Cabin was built in 1931 and was hoped to be a gathering place for undergraduates to go camping. It was constructed with large hand hewn logs from Nashua NH, and had one large room with a fireplace. It was stocked with beds, blankets and camping equipment. It had putting greens for the amusement of the campers, but did not catch on with the boys. It is now used largely for faculty/alumni events.
-
-Natural History Clubhouse-
The Natural History Club House may have served a multiude of needs, besides a club house for the students. After the boys lost interest it was converted to a tool shed and later a garage.
-
-The Gates-
The gates were built in 1932 from a design by Stuart Travis. Stuart Travis was an artist whose murals and dioramas appear in several other places around the campus. Built of stone and rusticated lumber. They were originally located near the Chapel Cemetary but relocated to their present locationwhen the school built the Rabbit Pond Dormitories.
-
-Fuess Memorial-
This is a memorial to Claude Moore Fuess, the tenth Headmaster of the school and a member of the English Faculty. Located off the main path but on a nature trail, the stone bench and the view of the swimming pond and the duck pond has provided a quiet place for hikers to rest and reflect upon the natural surroundings. The somewhat hidden nature trail, bench and stone images will help you identify the area.
-
-Forbes Memorial-
This is a memorial to Charles Henry Forbes, a member of the Latin Faculty and acting Headmaster for 1931-1933. Located off the main path but on a nature trail, the stone bench and the concave stone, which often held a puddle of water would provide a tranquil spot for school members and townspeople alike. This is a view of the memorial bench from behind the stone that is a part of the memorial.

-Class of 1943 Memorial -
The Class of 1943 gave this Japanese Stone Lantern in memory of their classmates who died serving the country in World War II in the Pacific Theater. The Class has also established a book fund at the OWH Library as a memorial. Each year a new book plate is created to memorialize the members who died the previous year.
