Event Location: Mountain View Farm, Mousley Brook Road, Orford NH
Parking: Approximate directions from Rte 10 in Orford:
Go out Route 25A east past the Town Offices, Orfordville Rd, and Lower Stonehouse Mtn Rd and then turn right onto Quinttown Road.
Keep going on Quinttown Road til it opens up to a clear area (2? miles - maybe more).
Go right across a bridge.
Shortly thereafter you come to a T; turn right again over another bridge.
Follow this road up and around a sharp corner to the left and go maybe another 1/4 mile to where it opens up to a field again.
There's a driveway that goes up at a slant onto the field just before an old barn, and there's parking in the field.
Join the Orford Conservation Commission and the Upper Valley Land Trust for a night under the stars led by Bobby Farlice-Rubio.
Mountain View Farm in the Quinttown region of Orford is the perfect place to take a tour of the night sky. Its remote location, 360 degree view, and lack of electric light pollution mean you can see the whole sky on a clear night.
The event opens at 7:30 pm for those who want to come early and find their perfect viewing spot. The tour of the night sky begins at 8pm. In the past, participants have brought a picnic dinner to enjoy the time spent waiting for the sun to set.
Please bring your own blankets and chairs, and a flashlight or headlamp, which are necessary to find your way when leaving the event! We do ask that you keep all light sources off during the presentation. Please note that there is no electricity, potable water, or restroom on site.
This event is free and open to the public but donations are appreciated and may be made when you arrive or online anytime. See you there!
