History

The Ward Reservation's original acreage was donated by Mrs. Charles W. Ward in 1940 in memory of her husband. Additional lands were given by the Ward family and other donors in at least twelve gifts from 1944 to 1999. Other parcels were purchased between 1958 and 1978.

Parts of the reservation, including some parcels it surrounds, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Holt Farm.
