He was a baseball enthusiast. Locally, he may be best remembered for securing land on West Road, for the purpose of a baseball field. Originally, this property was known as "Breed's Field", later "Asa Allen Field". Currently, it's known simply as "Allen Field", where there are now 3 baseball fields, a grandstand, a playground, 'cook shack' and a bandstand. This is also the site of the popular "Ashby Bonfire", held every year on July 3rd.
Many generations of children, from Ashby and surrounding communities, have enjoyed Asa Allen's generosity.
