Hiking Less Traveled

This weekend we stumbled upon a very cool hiking spot in Tiverton. It is called Eight Rod Farm, which is a 418 acre former dairy farm in Tiverton. It is located off of Route 77 and 8 Rod Way. It is eerily reminiscent of a horror film with abandoned barns, houses, stables, and milking stations. Walking up the path was deceiving as it opened to a field and my first thought was "this is it?," but on further investigation it turned out to be a really cool spot. It appears that the people on the farm and in the houses just seemed to pick up and leave or so my imagination would like to think. I have been searching for history on the farm, but have come up unsuccessful. I highly recommend checking it out and wish I had brought my camera. I will be heading back there, but definitely not alone. I am always open to new hiking spots, so if you know of any good ones let me know.
