In July 2010, a Special Commission was formed by an Act of the Legislature to designate 1,000 Great Places to Visit in Massachusetts.  It's mission was to identify and recognize the 1,000 most truly special places in the Commonwealth in order to celebrate pride in our history and culture, increase knowledge of our natural surroundsings and encourage regional and international tourism.  We were most pleased and humbled by the fact that the Commission chose Golden Skep Farm as one of the 1,000 Great Places to Visit.  Several of our local recommendations were also selected and are followed by an asterisk (*).
