History & Today
Thanks to a trust established by John and Ethel Noble, residents of nearby Sharon, Noble Horizons bought its original 64 acres and built the first 20 cottages in 1972 and Riga Residence in 1973. Since then, Noble Horizons has evolved into a village within a village. The Whitridge Nursing Wing opened in 1975, the Cobble and the Chapel in 1983, and Wagner Terrace in 1994. Cottages now number 50 and the campus has grown to 110 acres.
