Corn maize, pumpkin picking, and family fun can all be found at
Sherman Farm in New Hampshire. Pure family fun can be enjoyed while finding your way through their corn maize, or enjoying fright night! In addition to their corn maize, they have other attractions including the Moo Express, a Mini Maze, corn boxes, and hayrides. The children will enjoy Al's animal house with farm animals that are just waiting to be petted. Last year they also started Corn Cannons which was a big hit! Of course, if you get hungry they have a concession stand featuring Sherman Farms burgers, hot cider donuts, and other homemade delights. Yum!
The corn maize opens on Saturday, September 19th and will continue through the end of October. Hours are Saturday and Sunday from 10 A.M. until 5 P.M. Special nights include Flash Night and Fright Night on Friday and Saturday October 23rd and 24th. Also, they will be doing a Halloween flashlight and fright night at 50% off all admissions. Admission for ages 12 and up is $8.00, 5-11 is $5.00, and 4 and under get in for free. Sounds like fun to me!

A great Fall foliage getaway at the Old Field House Inn is
not complete without a ride to the top of Mount Washington on the Cog
Railway. The builder of the Cog Railway
wanted to develop a safe and easy method to ascend to the top of Mount
Washington. He submitted his proposals
and everyone thought he was crazy.
However, they approved his proposal and the Cog Railway took three years
to build. It was completed in 1865 and
it was an immediate success.
The journey begins at Marshfield Base Station, which is located
2700 feet above sea level. The ride
covers 2.8 miles and the scenic views are breath taking. Once at the top of Mount Washington views
extend to the Atlantic Ocean on clear days.
Also, enjoy a visit to the Observatory Museum and the historic Tiptop
House before the trip down the mountain.
What a wonderful way to spend any time of the year,
especially during Fall foliage. We
consider this a “must do” for any visit to New England. The round trip takes approximately three
hours and tickets can be purchased on-line and children under 3 ride for free!

Fall foliage is just around the corner and New Hampshire is the perfect place to visit to enjoy the views and outstanding scenery! Guests of the Old Field House Inn can turn at any corner and enjoy special rides through the countryside and mountains and enjoy nature's splendor as it shows its best colors and scenery of the season. Vivid reds, vibrant yellows, and brilliant orange are a few of the colors that will be on display. Of course, there are also the pumpkins galore, apple orchards and hay rides to get you into the full spirit!
We have many favorite Fall foliage rides but two favorites are the Kancamagus Highway and Pinkham Notch Loop. The Kancamagus Highway is one of New England's more beautiful drives. It covers 34 miles and is known by locals as "the Kank". The east-west drives goes through over 800,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest and the views are breathtaking. The Pinkham Notch Loop offers spectacular views of the Presidential Mountains and surrounding countryside, including Mount Washington.
Fall foliage is almost upon us! We encourage you to make reservations early and leave the rest to nature!
