This is an elaborate outdoor art gallery, similar to Lemon Fair Sculpture Park and Art Omi. This one sits on 30 acres of land, managed by the Trustees of Reservations. This one is not free. You are required to buy a ticket in advance for a one hour arrival window. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and all the slots had open spaces. The parking lot was only about a third of the way full when we arrived. Leashed dogs are welcome. The grounds are exceptionally maintained. Like the other outdoor sculpture parks we've visited, most of the pieces are some sort of modern art. The website has information on the pieces as well as a property map. There is a picnic area and a store as well. There is also a museum on the property, but it was closed for renovations and dogs are not allowed inside anyway. My only complaint is the placement of some of the displays. It was a very bright day, and some of the works were hard to see due to the shadows. Other than that, this was an enjoyable and interesting walk. I don't know that Mandy and Lexi appreciate the art all that much, but they enjoy nice walks on beautiful days!

I visited Stonehenge back in 2019, but wasn't able to bring the dogs to England with me for that trip, so this is the next best thing, right? Behold "Ponyhenge"! This is a spot off the side of a road near a farm, that features an open area filled with old rocking horses. Nobody really knows where they come from, they just sort of appear every now and then. I've read a few articles about this place on line. Some say that the area is haunted. It does sort of have a creepy Stephen King vibe going for it. We were one town over in Weston, so it made sense to take the extra 10 minutes to check out this strange spot!
