Victory Park/ The poor farm
Good morning all and I hope life is treating you well, today I will share some shots froma visit to what the maps call Victory park but is known to many of the locals especially the ones around my age as the Poor Farm.
I almost said known by most of hte older locals but then realised heck there may age, dang its a bummer to admit I am not as young as I used to be LOL
this shot of fromthe road near where i was parked looking across the pond there
These were taken last year and trust me its not looking so grene at the moment, but once the weather gets it act together and it starts warming up it will be green again

When I heard people vcall it the Poor farm I had to do some research and here is what I found
The Poor Farm dates back to 1828, when the then-town ( now its a city with about 100K residents) of New Bedford purchased 75 acres on Clarks Point for $4,700.
In the coming years, the farm was developed into a complex including a poorhouse, a hospital for sick seamen, a workhouse for criminals who committed minor offenses and later a "pest house," or hospital for people with contagious diseases. In 1847, a new almshouse opened.
but there is no sign of any of those buildings anymore
Not I am not sure if this sports field is considered part of Victory park or the Poor farm area but its just across a road from the pond
