After Helen Budd and her husband, Arthur Budd, built Helenscourt and came to live there full-time, the estate also became home to employees, some of them housed in former homesteads on the property (such as the one that was later moved to a new location and became the Windsor Historical Museum). They worked at animal care, planting spruce trees, installing stone walls and water systems, general carpentry and maintenance, sugaring, and farming. — Rachel Niswander, Terra Corps Community Engagement Coordinator
