Experience Remick from the “chirp” seats.
During this guided walk, you’ll discover the important role the Remick property has played in the lives of migratory birds.

Marion Miles Remick (1906–1980) lived on this site from her marriage to Doc Remick in 1929 until her death in 1980. In addition to her interests in flower gardening, cats, and horse racing, Marion was an avid bird watcher.

Marion’s interest in birding may have been encouraged by the grounds where she once lived, which provide a sweeping landscape and a variety of bird habitats, including forests, fields and open water. Avid birders have spotted at least 84 bird species on the Remick grounds — see a sample list on eBird. Come and learn more about Marion and the birds of Remick Farm with your interpretive guide while hiking across the expansive property.

The anniversary of Marion’s birthday takes place on May 28 — 119 years ago. This activity is one way we honor her contribution to our site’s history, often overshadowed by our wider story.

Activity length: 60 minutes.
Terrain: gravel paths, uneven grassy fields, inclines.
Binoculars are recommended; dress for outdoor weather and farm conditions underfoot.

FREE for members, $5 suggested donation for nonmembers.
For ages 16+, ages 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information, call (603) 323-7591.

This activity is part of our Spring on the Farm schedule.

Marion’s birding guides — complete with handwritten notes — and binoculars can be seen in her office area of the mid-century-style apartment she shared with her husband, Doc Remick.
