History and places

A house was built in what is now Pomfret by Francis Caleb Green, on part of the 2,400 acres (970 ha) of land granted in 1666 to the sons of Thomas Greene, the second Provincial Governor of Maryland, who named it "Green's Inheritance". Mother Catherine Spalding, born in 1793, was a native of Pomfret, according to a brass plaque inside the front entrance to St. Joseph's. The active historic St. Joseph's Catholic Church was established by Father George Hunter, S.J. in Pomfret in 1763.[6] The current structure dates from 1849.

Acquinsicke, Green's Inheritance, McPherson's Purchase and Pleasant Hill are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[7]

The Team also provides public education on water safety and ice fall-through safety.[10] Station 13 does not provide fire protection or emergency medical services to the immediate Pomfret community.

2022 exotic snake poisoning incident

On January 19, 2022, Pomfret resident David Riston was found dead with 124 snakes in his house.[23] Many of the snakes were exotic species including some of the most deadly snakes in the world, including cobras and black mambas as well as rattlesnakes and a 14 foot long Burmese python which is not a venomous species, but which at that size was a dangerous constrictor.[23] On April 14, 2022, the Maryland State Medical Examiners Office announced, after an autopsy, that Riston had died of "snake envenomation".[23] Some of the snakes in the house were illegal to own, either in Maryland or the United States as a whole.[23]

First production of an International cassette tape ministry

This nonprofit company operated on the grounds of St. Joseph's Parish, Pomfret, Maryland. This was the first production of a worldwide cassette tape ministry. In September 1974, the Catholic Archbishop of Washington asked Fulton Sheen to be the speaker for a retreat for diocesan priests at the Loyola Retreat House in Faulkner, Maryland. This was first recorded on reel-to-reel tape, state of the art at the time, then it was transferred to cassette tapes.[24]

Sheen requested that the recorded talks be produced for distribution. It was called Ministry-O-Media. The retreat album was titled, Renewal and Reconciliation and included nine 60-minute audiotapes. All tapes were produced in Pomfret.[24]
