Tips from locals
The Flanders Land Trust looks after more than 2,100 acres of open space across seven preserves in Woodbury, Bethel, Southbury and Middlebury. The headquarters are a little way west in Bethlehem at the Van Fleck Farm & Nature Sanctuary, which puts on exhibitions, a wealth of educational programs and workshops for adults and children. There you’ll encounter a beautiful set of buildings scattered over a large area at the junction of Church Hill Road and Flanders Road. At the 19th-century North Barn there are all kinds of farm animals, as well as exhibits on rural traditions in New England. The Buz Russell Museum of Antique Tools and Farm Life has a fantastic collection of farming implements and toys collected by one Bethlehem resident, while the Studio, dating to 1928, stages lectures, meetings, art classes and nature programs. The Sugar House, on a track off Church Hill Road, is the site of Flanders’ annual maple sugaring program and has exhibitions about the habitats and wildlife in Flanders nature preserves.
