Moncrieff Cochran Sanctuary
In 1929, trustee Thomas Cochran, Class of 1890, purchased and gave to the school a tract of 125 acres, stating, "It would be my ideal to make this…a natural piece of ground intersected by paths and adorned by ponds and trees…by birds and wild flowers." Today, the sanctuary, named for Cochran's brother Moncrieff, Class of 1900, is precisely what Cochran dreamed, and is well worth a leisurely walk. The academy welcomes walkers in all seasons and cross-country skiers in the winter. The gate is open each day at 6 a.m. and closed and locked at 6 p.m. The entrance to the sanctuary is located between Nathan Hale and Fuess houses, located east of Rabbit Pond at the end of Chapel Avenue.
