Bridget's Guidebook

1) There is a hike right outside the front door to an early 1800 spring. This hike is a half a mile round trip. 2) There is a scavenger hunt set up on property to different historical locations. The scavenger hunt is fun for all ages and there is a treasure box at the end ! This covers about a mile round trip and a great way to learn about the local history. 3) One of my favorite things to do at night is to take advantage of the clear night sky , lay out on the deck and look for shooting stars. I always put down the cushions that are in the chest out on the deck and you may bring blankets out just not the ones off the beds please. There's tons in the closets.
