On December 23, 1999, the Leach/Stearns family donated approximately 125 acres to the Town of Oshkosh. The land is located in-between Ryf, Leach, and Plummers Pt. Road area. The town board honors Stearns request to preserve the land in its natural state providing green space maintaining a rural setting in the Town of Oshkosh. This year we celebrate their gracious and generous gift twenty-years later.
