At the end of each session, there will be a race at Woodsom Farm.

Woodsom Farm is owned by the Town of Amesbury and is zoned open space conservancy, thus protecting it from development. The Farm contains approximately 370 acres of prime pastureland, bird nesting sites, open space, drumlin hills, and wetlands, bisected by Lions’ Mouth Road and is located approximately two miles from the Town Center.

The Powow River is the north western boundary of the farm, running from the lakes, back briefly into New Hampshire and then into Lake Gardiner, through downtown and into the Merrimack River.

The Woodsom Farm property was purchased in 1989 from the Woodsom Trust for $5 million dollars and also includes two parcels of open space land behind the houses on Lion’s Mouth Road. The Woodsom Farm property also adjoins the Town Forest.

Costs: $55 per session.

Open House: There will be an open house on July 6th (9-10:30 a.m.) at Woodsom Farm.
