Justine (nee Bayard Cutting) Ward, whose life's work was the development and promulgation of a method of teaching Gregorian chant to children, lived for much of her childhood and young adult life in Westbrook, her family's mansion and nearly 700-acre estate on the South Shore of Long Island.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, we visited Westbrook, now the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, which was donated to the Long Island State Park Commission in 1936.
