Botanical Trails of the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth
Parks, Yarmouth
Fodor's Review:
The Botanical Trails of the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth, behind the post office (231 Main St., Yarmouth Port), consists of 50 acres of oak and pine woods and a pond, accented by blueberries, lady's slippers, Indian pipes, rhododendrons, and hollies. Stone markers and arrows point out the 2 mi of trails; you'll find trail maps in the gatehouse mailbox. Just beyond the historical society's trails, you can find Kelley Chapel, built in 1873 by a father for his daughter, who was grieving over the death of her child. An iron woodstove and a pump organ dominate the simple interior. Off Rte. 6A. $1 suggested donation. Gatehouse July and Aug., daily 1-4. Trails during daylight hrs year-round.
