Enjoy swimming, walking, cycling; bring your canoe or kayak and don't forget your camera. Excellent restaurants are near by. On Sunday afternoons in July and August Fisk Farm hosts music and art exhibits in our restored Horse & Carriage Barn. Tea is served in the ruins of the great stone house that was originally the great house on Fisk Farm, memorable because of the historic visit of Teddy Roosevelt in 1901.
