Instead, Clarke offered it to President [[Abraham Lincoln]] during the [[American Civil War]] and the [[2nd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment]] used it for training as [[Camp Andrew]].<ref name=Felton129>Felton, 129</ref><ref>[https://historicaldigression.com/2015/08/09/civil-war-training-camps-in-massachusetts-part-two/ Historical Digression, Civil War Training Camps in Massachusetts, part 2] 9 August 2015.

Burckhardt purchased the property, after which he formed the Association of the Evangelical Lutheran Church for Works of Mercy to operate an orphanage in The Hive, as the main house on the property was known. The orphanage opened in 1872 and operated until 1943. In 1948 the Lutherans converted it into a treatment center and school, which closed in 1977.<ref name=DCRBrochure>{{cite web\|url=http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/brookfarmbrochure.pdf\|title=Brooks Farm Brochure\|publisher=Massachusetts DCR\|~~accessdate~~access-date=2013-06-19}}</ref> Parts of the farm were separated in 1873 for use as a cemetery, a use that continues today as a non-denominational cemetery known as the Gardens of Gethsemene (as part of St. Joseph's Cemetery and the [[Baker Street Jewish Cemeteries]]). During the period of Lutheran ownership the only now extant building, a c. 1890 print shop, was built on the land; the buildings associated with the Transcendentalists, most recently the Margaret Fuller Cottage, had burned down by the 1980s.<ref name=Felton129/><ref name=DCRBrochure/> In 1988 the Metropolitan District Commission (since merged with the [[Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation]], or DCR) purchased {{convert\|148\|acre\|km2}} of the original land.<ref>Delano, 326</ref> The farm was declared a U.S. [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1965, a [[Boston Landmark]] in 1977, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nrhpinv2">Polly M.
