West Point Society of New England Summer Outing at the Patton Homestead in Hamilton, MA
Bring your families and friends to a fun picnic at the Patton Homestead. Attendees were treated to a tour of the Patton Homestead, hay rides and an opportunity to visit the Green Meadows Farm owned by Mrs. Joanne Holbrook Patton. The country-style Homestead was purchased by Gen. George S. Patton Jr. and his wife Beatrice in 1928 and served as a family vacation spot for many years. With the start of World War II, Beatrice moved to the Homestead permanently while her husband led the Seventh Army across Sicily and later commanded the Third Army to victory across the European Theater. In 1980, Patton’s son, Major General George S. Patton, his wife Joanne and their five children moved to the Homestead permanently after his own distinguished 34 year career in the US Army before retiring to Green Meadows
