The site has an entry area off the parking lot for a ticket booth, restrooms and picnic area. The property is gently rolling and has woods, meadows, a pond, stream and mowed grass paths as well as chipped cart paths. Easy walking. Visiting groups were mostly masked and all gave wide berth to other groups while still being friendly. There are numerous side paths that don’t necessarily correlate well to the map. The few directional red arrows were very helpful and they could use a few more. There were many chairs and benches in spots with great views. The sculptures were amazing! The artist has taken some very ordinary metal objects, combined them and produced extraordinary sculptures. They’re sited throughout the garden, popping up in garden beds, pond edges, hanging from trees....they’re everywhere and I’m sure I missed some because I was as interested in the plantings as I was in the sculptures. The many specimen trees and shrubs need some tags for those of us who need some plant id help. Most of the sculptures were not titled. I’m hoping they’ll get around to more labeling in future. This sculpture garden is an easy detour off I-95 and a must-see. It’s a great outdoor artistic activity and the images are good for the soul.
2. Avenue Victor Hugo Books

The legendary Avenue Victor Hugo Books has re-opened in a post-and-beam barn 10 minutes from the UNH campus in Durham. For nearly 30 years, Avenue Victor Hugo was a fixture of Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay, the store at one time holding over a quarter-million magazines and 150,000 used books. Awarded “Best Used Bookstore” multiple times by Boston Magazine, the store was a favorite of Boston-area authors and college students alike. During its years on Newbury Street, Avenue Victor Hugo also played host to Fiction, Galileo, and Galaxy magazines, all published by McCaffrey. In 2004 the store was forced to close due to high rents. 14 years later, in 2018, the shop reopened in Lee, New Hampshire. This rebirth has been celebrated by The Boston Globe, WMUR's New Hampshire Chronicle, The New Hampshire Union Leader, NHPR's Morning Edition, Foster's Daily Democrat, and WGBH's Greater Boston. AVH specializes in fiction and history but carries a select of all genres.

We toured Flag Hill after the grapes had been harvested, but it was still a beautiful tour and our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. After the tour, we enjoyed a "tasting" of several wines along with wonderful cheeses, crackers & olives. There is a very large selection of wines for sale. It was a beautiful day!

Corn maze was a little different this year. No mailboxes for clues and signs instead. Kids went through 3 times. Fun time and a tradition for us. Good times.

This farm has moved to a new level of family entertainment including haunted overload.In October the farm at night is transformed into a scary treat- a mile long path through woods with skeletons and fantastical artworks.i was scared twice by an exotic woman who wanted me to take spin as a target for her axes! Simply the best.
