The nonprofit Skyline Farm has a carriage museum with an antique carriage and sleigh collection, and a small trail system that follows old bridle paths and meanders through hayfields and woods. According to its website, the farm provides educational and recreational programs based on the role of horse-drawn transportation in New England. Sounds really fun!
Since I last visited, the farm has improved its trails, bringing in former Olympic Nordic skier John Morton to design the system. One loop is wheelchair accessible.
Directions: The physical address of Skyline Farm is Skyline Farm, 95 The Lane, North Yarmouth. Once you turn onto The Lane go about a mile to the large parking lot of the right, right before you hit Sweetser Road. Additionally, those who wish to use the accessible trails may park at the smaller lot off Sweetser Road, which the farm reserves for those with mobility issues.
