The History of Malabar Farm MPR

Join author Tom Bachelder and Malabar Farm Park Naturalist Mark Sommer as they share the story of Richland County’s Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Louis Bromfield. Hear about:
- His early years in Mansfield
- His experiences in World War I driving an ambulance in France
- His life in France during the 1920s and 30s
- His creation of Malabar Farm, now Malabar Farm State Park.
Both Tom and Mark are retired Shelby City School teachers. Tom re-retired from Malabar Farm as a Park Naturalist and is now part of the Malabar Farm Foundation. He has written several books related to the life of Louis Bromfield. Mark is also a tour guide of Bromfield’s Big House and farm property.
