We invite the community to come and enjoy the scenic vista of the farm. Bring your dog, on or off leash, and walk over 4 miles of trails.

Steele Farm is a thirty-six-acre historic New England farmscape. This relatively open and expansive landscape provides the community with commanding views, historic structures, recreational opportunities, and wildlife habitat for many species. Steele Farm is permanently protected under a Historic and Conservation Restriction, and is registered with the National Registry of Historic Places. There are three buildings on the property: The 1784 Levi Wetherbee farmhouse; the circa 1904 Richardson ice house, and the early 1940’s Steele barn. No registration is necessary and activities will go on rain or shine.
