I found such a cool spot for High School Senior portraits or Modeling headshots. @capeannwedding

Visited for Smithsonian Free Museum Day. A very interesting house with lots of New England art. I love that they left it as the Little family used it - even down to the weird plastic fruit on the tables and the stuffed parakeet in the antique bird cage.

On of the nicest places to ski rolling fields with great views. When there is snow, of course. Otherwise a scenic walk with the dog or to catch a starry night.

Questions & Answers

Are there trails to walk on around the property?

Hi Sara! Since we are still a working farm, we don't really have trails as such, but visitors are welcome to walk the property grounds from dawn till dusk. At any given time of year, the hayfields may or may not be cut, depending on the farm schedule, so when you walk we just ask that you be aware of farm activities! We don't want anyone run over by a tractor. =) Thanks for visiting!

Is there a lot of walking?

Hi Sue- Thanks for your message! People are welcome to walk our extensive grounds year round, dawn till dusk, so that is as much walking as a visitor might choose to do. The historic house museum tour takes about an hour, and does involve some walking, standing, and climbing stairs in that time. For our guests who have mobility issues, we can offer folding chairs on the house tour to reduce the amount of standing. I hope that answers your question!
