In June, 1996, Elizabeth Densmore donated to the land trust 4 acres on Route 62, known both as Russell Corner and the Triangle and encompassing much of Princeton's original common.

By ensuring that this important open space will remain undeveloped, Miss Densmore's gift protects an important aspect of the town's history from erasure and preserves for future generations the opportunity to enjoy the same views and the same level of rural beauty that first attracted settlers to Princeton.
