The Meetinghouse
The handsome restored Meetinghouse is sometimes used for conferences.

Grounds

Paths and trails lead away from the farmhouse, taking you to even quieter places: down to the pond to gather wild flowers; along Traprock Ledge for a beautiful sunset vista; through hemlock groves on more lengthy hikes.  The farmhouse is most immediately surrounded by golden meadows. Ask us in advance and a staff member will prepare a quiet campfire for your group at dusk.
