Legal Question in Tax Law in Massachusetts

For the past 30 some odd years, I have inadvertantly been paying real estate taxes on a barn and some land that does not belong to me, but abuts my house and land in Lee, MA. This particular parcel is owned by Schweitzer-Maudit Corp. which has obviously benefited from the mistake. What are my options?
