Artist in Residence
Find the artist in residence easel under the apple tree and paint a picture that will be added to the collection inside Grandpa's Barn.
Hiking trails
We invite you to explore the many trails threading the property - walking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing are all encouraged. There are animal tracks and bird or frog calls to investigate, wildflowers to photograph, and quiet spots for reflection or reading.
Copper Harbor's Community Garden
The Copper Harbor Community Garden is a stone's throw from Grandpa's Barn and is tended by about a dozen families in town. Grandpa's Barn, the trails, ponds, and garden are all a part of a parcel of land known as Ft. Wilkins Gardens.
Copper Harbor Birding
Birders flock to the field and pond behind Grandpa's Barn to look for migrating warblers in the spring or just to visit with the wide variety of birds that visit the property. Check out the bird list on the porch at the bookstore and add any new birds you've seen.
