Drumlin Farm: animals, a short loop and a real social story

Lincoln, Massachusetts

It works at several sizes. The whole farm can be an outing, but animals + Farmyard Loop + picnic can also be enough. Most important for this series: Drumlin publishes unusually concrete accessibility planning tools.
