  Appleton Farms is a park in Ipswich, Massachusetts, owned and maintained by The Trustees of Reservations. The property was deeded to the Trustees in 1998.^[1] The land was granted to Samuel Appleton, an immigrant from Little Waldingfield, England, in 1638 by the town of Ipswich and is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in Massachusetts.^[2] In 2002, The Trustees of Reservations established a vegetable Community Supported Agriculture Program.^[3] Also maintained by the Trustees of Reservations is the adjacent Appleton Farms Grass Rides. The trails are easy to walk and well maintained. 

  Last summer, we walked the Appleton Grasslands. This time we will walk through the fields and around the farm. This is an historic farm-recently archivists uncovered a portrait of George Washington on the property.  Family members also had a long term relationship with Harvard. For those who are interested there is also a vegetable market selling produce some of which is grown on the farm.

  Parking is available a lot at the farm end of the long drive.  Take a right at the small booth and continue to the end of the road.

  I suggest we do lunch at the Farm Bar and Grille in Essex.  The address is 233 Western Ave, Essex.  If others have a preferred place in Ipswich, we can go to that location.

  Our activities will include bicycling, hiking and golf.  

  The main attraction is Ministers Island, home to a 50 room mansion built by Sir William Van Horne in the 1890's.  The estate captures the characteristic features of landscape design of the time including formal gardens, a farm, recreational facilities, and forests, all integrated into Atlantic Canada's rolling landscape and dramatic views. The estate buildings include the mansion and a collection of highly original and innovative structures designed by Montreal architect Edward Maxwell: a massive two-storey barn, an ocean-front bathhouse, a windmill, and a gas plant. The 500 acre island is only accessible by car, bicycling or by foot at low tide. Don't worry - tides and admission hours are highly visible.

Currently the Canadian dollar is trading at approximately CDN $1.00 = USD 0.72  I am currently trying to arrange a nearby cofee/breakfast and farewell dinner venue as this is not part of the hotel offering due to renovation work.

  Space is very limited.  Single rooms (king or queen bed) are CDN $387.00 plus 18.5% taxes and fees per room. This is for three nights

  There are only 3 double rooms (Queen or double beds) for CDN$ 537.00 plus 18.5% taxes and fees per room.  This is for three nights  **NOTE - You will be placed on a waitlist if you choose this option. There are no more available as of 8/17/26**

  The downhill ski mountain has all levels of skiing from Greens to Blacks and several nice places for lunch, which is the only time you will need money during your entire trip. 

  The Ski Touring Center is world-class and is within walking distance to our hotel. It has an excellent reputation for all levels of skiers, from beginners to experienced.

  There are also several areas that offer free snowshoeing and winter hiking.

  We have reserved every room in the Hotel so anyone you see is either Staff or a TOHG member. I am told that the hotel has gone through a series of updates and that the ”rooms look amazing”

Most of the rooms offer two queen beds and there is a limited number of king beds for those who would prefer a king bed.

  We are planning a Pizza Party on the night of our arrival to be held in a very convenient gathering space, which again is BYOB and is included in the price of the room.

We are planning to have a Après Ski Party each day before dinner where we can enjoy appetizers, water, wine, beer, or the drink of your choice, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Again, all of the above will be supplied by TOHG.

  The club is continuing our wonderful tradition of sojourning to the ski-in/ski-out Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River.  The resort offers the most terrain in the East with a network that spans eight mountain peaks, providing great options for skiers of all ability levels. In recent years, Sunday River has added two state-of-the-art high-speed and heated bubble chair lifts to make your skiing experience even more comfortable.  Additionally, the hotel offers two large hot tubs and an outdoor pool for those wanting to soothe their muscles at the end of a day on the slopes.

  In addition to great downhill skiing, there are myriad wonderful cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking options at the nearby Bethel Inn and Carter’s Cross Country Ski areas.

  Lodging: We’ve reserved deluxe suites which historically have comfortably accommodated four people.  Each suite consists of a bedroom side with two queen beds, and a kitchenette side which is shared for meals with a Murphy bed and pull-out sofa bed.  The sides are separated by a door and each have their own private bathroom. Requests for roommates and room style (bedroom or kitchen side) will be addressed on the online registration form.

  Final rooming assignments will be provided mid-January 2027.  Note: depending on the distribution of preferences it is possible that some requests (kitchen v. bedroom side) may not be able to be honored.  That said, last year only a very small number of such requests couldn’t be met.  Please indicate on your registration if that was the case with you so you can have priority this year.

  If you wish to book a room that does not require sharing the kitchenette please reach out to the trip leaders and we will check into availability and pricing.

  Per tradition, we will also have nightly social hours, either in one of the suites or by the fireplace in the lower lobby.

  Meals: One group dinner is included in the registration costs.  For other meals everyone will have access to the shared kitchen facilities or may wish to visit one of the many local restaurants in Sunday River or nearby Bethel.  

  Cost:

  • Double Occupancy — $615 per person
  • Single Occupancy — $1,165 per person

  Registration: If you already have a roommate or are registering for a single room please register on the TOHG website. (Note: each person must register separately). 

  If you need a roommate, please contact the trip leaders who will look to help match you with a roommate. Also, the TOHG website has a “roommate and carpool” section where you can post for a roommate.  If you have preferred “suite mates” please indicate on your registration.  Payments for registrations are due by October 1, 2026. 

  Lift tickets:  Sunday River honors the Ikon Pass.

  • Those over the age of 80 can buy tickets online usually for under $10 for the week.
  • For others, multi-day tickets can be purchased through the website, 
  • Historically for those ordering early, the cost for senior and mid-week tickets has been quite reasonable.  
  • Also, we may be eligible for a small group discount on lift tickets (details to follow).  

  Cancellations:  A full refund (minus 3% credit card fee) will be issued for any cancellations prior to October 15, 2026.  After that date full refunds will be issued only when a paid replacement is found or when we can consolidate rooms. The closer we get to the dates of the trip, the less likely we will be able to arrange for a full or partial refund.  

  Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or comments.
