Trailblazers – Malabar Farm Tour

Louis Bromfield was one of Northeast Ohio’s most influential and colorful characters. Born in Mansfield, Ohio, Bromfield would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his novel Early Autumn and become one of America’s first proponents of sustainable agriculture and conservation. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern environmental movement.

Located in Pleasant Valley of Richland County, Malabar Farm is representative of the diversity of the glaciated Appalachian Plateau region. The park has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.  Malabar Farm is famously known as the location of the marriage of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in 1945.
