A wildlife refuge encompassing over 450 acres and 7 miles of trails that wind through a diversity of habitats. Nearly 30 acres are maintained as hay fields. Woodlands are the most prominent plant community and four ridges provide spectacular views of the surrounding ocean and ponds. Visitors check in at the visitor center in our 19th century barn. The Sanctuary's barn also offers educational trailside exhibits and a gift shop for browsing. The Sanctuary has quite an interesting history from Native American to modern times.
