In addition
to geographical and other advantages which Sharon offers, is what might be
termed an "endowed community." During the lifetime of Frank
H. Buhl, he and Mrs. Buhl created Buhl
Farm, a playground of 500 acres, containing a lake, a swimming pool,
tennis courts, a free nine-hole golf course, a picnic grove and
children’s playgrounds. There are five miles of beautiful drives and
many other features. Everything in connection with the Buhl Farm is free
to the public.
Upon the
death of Mr. Buhl the residue of his estate became available as a
permanent endowment fund to be administered by the Board of Trustees of
the F. H. Buhl Club. To this Board had been transferred the F. H. Buhl
Farm and the F. H. Buhl Club property, together with a fund for the
operation of the Farm. This is a self-perpetuating body and during the
past few years has carried on a great many benefactions.
