Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Newtown , CT

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son who is a permaculture expert develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land:Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program. We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town. Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch. We love you all! Thank you for your support!

Overview

About

Walk in the steps of Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, at his former home on the north shore of Long Island.

Start your tour at the house, which harbors artifacts from Roosevelt's life. The beautiful, three-story dwelling was built in 1885, and much of the inside is original and restored. The president spent many summers here while in office when he needed a break from the rigors of being the top elected official in the country. The first floor contains a living room decked out in hunting trophies, ornate desks, and display cabinets. Upstairs, there's a library that doubled as Roosevelt's office when he had presidential duties to attend to. Keep an eye out for a teddy bear in the house.

There is an admission fee for the house, and tickets sell out quickly for tours. If you want to be like the 26th president, stand on the back porch and give a speech to people in attendance. You might get some stares, but at least you're presidential.

Outside, the property is just as magnificent. Trails and paved paths take you through forests, meadows, salt marshes and beaches. You might find eagles, small mammals, frogs, turtles and insects along your walk. It's no wonder Roosevelt, an avid outdoorsman himself, fell in love with this place.

All of this adventuring and speech-giving makes you hungry. There's a picnic area to get off your feet for a little bit to enjoy some chow. There's no place to buy food in the park other than light snacks, so bring some goodies with you to eat a hearty lunch.
