A renowned sculpture museum. Most of the museum is outdoors and great for all seasons. Walk around the grounds and explore amazing massive sculptures and installations. Take the elevator to the museum's roof deck and you'll have beautiful views of the pristine Flint Pond (where Lincoln gets its drinking water). The roof deck is best at sunset (WOW). And don't forget to check out the gift store, lot's of cool stuff. https://decordova.org/

If you're a fan of architecture, design, houses.... this is a must. Walter Gropius was the founder of the Bauhaus movement. His life was an interesting journey and spawned many foundational design elements. You'll tour his house and grounds, fascinating. It's not a long tour (about 45 minutes) so it's easy to fit it in to your schedule. https://www.historicnewengland.org/property/gropius-house/

This is a special place. The family who runs this farm is doing a phenomenal job and they have a 24/7 farmers market in their barn. It's stocked with local produce and changes daily... sometimes you'll score some ice cream, sometimes fresh local chicken, local meats, oh and THE BEST EGGS. And plenty of staples you'll need. Super close to the house and you can pop on over there anytime. They do farm tours too! One of the best farmers around. https://codmancommunityfarms.org/

Worth a quick stop to check this out. A mysterious phenomenon.... hobby horses congregate here and they'll change formation periodically. No one knows how/who/why/what.... it just happens. If you're really adventurous check it out at night, super spooky! https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/ponyhenge

Dog friendly
Nice conservation trails, a pond, open fields, a dog friendly place (great place to let the dog run free and mingle with other dogs or they can go for a swim in the pond (not for human swimming though)). You won't find cats here! Great dog park.

A good all around American restaurant on Moody Street. Moody Street has a variety of eclectic restaurants and bars and it’s not far from the house. A more urban feel close to home.
