    Brook Farm Historic Site - Blue stillness

    Lovely slice of solitude just outside Bos :-)…read more This site is nestled between 2 cemeteries, so truly peaceful. While the site isn't huge, I encountered no more than 5 ppl during my afternoon stroll. I strolled by streams, a wheat field, mini wooden bridges, boggish ponds, and lanes and lanes of trees -- I can't wait until spring brings all the leaves back, and the lanes become tunnels! Somewhere in the middle of the site, I crossed a powow-looking gathering place (or maybe I just imagined it to be), and felt like Tigger, Roo, Piglet and Pooh were going to come out and meet me. It was like the 100 acre wood on a blustery day came to life, and it was the perfect nature escape. :-) Fun fact from the website: "Brook Farm is a National Historic Site for its role in social and intellectual history. The experimental society of Transcendentalists lived on the farm in the 1840's. Later, the farm served as a Civil War training camp and a Lutheran orphanage."

    i was really disappointed when i came here. i was looking for places to walk my dog, and i decided…read moreto try out brook farm. at first, i thought it was fine, but there was trash everywhere. i'm not sure if i came on a bad day, but i probably won't return. i also wouldn't recommend this place if you have reactive dogs as many dogs were off leash.

    My daughter recommended us to visit this fantastic arboretum. It was super worthwhile! Just to get…read moreout of the city first a bit into a well-preserved and landscaped beautiful lush green space with evergreens and oaks and gardens. It's free every day! There's a visitor center, where they have clippings of flowers that are labeled for easy identification and appreciation. Also throughout the arboretum are little plaques identifying flora. We went up to see the view of Boston from Peter's Hill and walked alongside the blooming mountain laurel bushes. Walkable paths are asphalt or wood chips. We saw a wild turkey, several robins, and occasional people. Super glad we explored this wondrous place!

    It's been quite some time since i stopped by the arboretum. As a kid my grandma and mother used to…read moretake us there and take photos in the summer. I have some very good child memories here. They used to have hedge? Carvings of animals and stuff which was super cool. Didn't see that today but not sure, we didn't have time to check the whole arboretum. I think this place is so cool, there's families walking, roller blading, skating, biking etc dog walking you name it. It's clean in there so please keep it that way if visiting. There are ample signs of the types of trees, plants, and different zones. Porta potty available on the paths, resting chairs, benches and even spreads for a picnic. Friend had his wedding there not long ago. Easy commute from Forrest Hills train station on the orange line and walk up the street. Multiple gates to go in from, but main gate closed to cars at 4pm i think. The arboretum is closed at dusk. Beautiful walk on a beautiful day.
