It’s a family owned farm with a little store located in a barn that dates to the Eighteenth Century. We arrived in the middle of pick your own strawberries season, but the feature that really piqued our interest is the vintage Lionel trains layout. On Saturday and Sunday evenings Michael charges a small fee to treat visitors to a delightful interactive train layout. As Lionel fans ourselves we enjoyed discussing the intricacies of the layout as well as watching the four trains running simultaneously and participating in the dumping of coal cars, the unloading of milk cans, timber cars tipping their loads. If you are in the neighborhood of Sharon CT and you love trains get in touch with Ellsworth Farm and make arrangements with Michael to see the trains!
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
