IN this hilly area of Huntington, narrow roads twist past dense woodland and rich green fields of grass where horses bend their long necks down to graze.

Among the historic homes, the house at 107 Chichester Road, known as the Peace and Plenty Inn, may be the oldest. Built in 1680, the long red shingle house, covering about 3,500 square feet on 2.3 acres, once served as a town meeting hall, a tavern and rest stop for travelers on horseback.
