Bill Newcomb lives on an acre of land in Columbia County that’s been in his family since his childhood in the 1940s.
“I always say, when I was a kid, I used to run around here, but now I limp,” Newcomb joked. “I lived in other areas. I was in the service, but it’s nice to come back. This is home, this is where I grew up.”
The property in the Town of Copake is across the street from a plot of farmland that’s sat mostly unused in recent years.
