Codman is a large area of conservation land with hayfields, pastures, forests, and wetlands as well as the historic Codman House and Codman Farm. The Codman Family owned the property from 1790 until 1968 when Dorothy Codman willed her mansion and surrounding land to Historic New England and 25 acres of forest to LLCT. The remainder of the estate was left in trust for the benefit of Lincoln. Codman Trust now supports many conservation (and other) projects in town. The former estate now includes land on both sides of Codman Road, the Lincoln Woods affordable housing complex, and the Mall at Lincoln Station. RLF purchased additional land from the estate in the early 1970s to help develop Lincoln’s commercial center.
