(Today's Dudley Road and Winthrop Avenue in Bedford, as well as Pickman Drive, are named these families.) A large portion of the Pickman land, Huckins Farm, was sold to a developer for condominium development in 1987, and other parcels including the large Pickman house (Stearns Farm) were sold to private parties. Huckins Farm was a part of this purchase. The land was used as a dairy farm and apple orchard, in addition to the fields, pasture land, bog garden, and ponds.
