Welcome
Welcome to Mount Hope Farm, where history and nature set the stage for a scenic walk, a family celebration, a relaxing stay in our inn … and more. Our 127-acre Farm sits on the shores of Mount Hope Bay. We are proud to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as an Accredited Arboretum. Our gardens, trails and walking paths are open daily 8 am to 6 pm, except when private events are underway. There is no admission charge. However, as a nonprofit organization, we appreciate visitors who choose to support our efforts by becoming a Mount Hope Farm member.
The Farm is meant for walking. Stroll our path to our rustic Cove Cabin. Sit a moment to admire Mount Hope Bridge. And don’t head home without saying hello to our farm animals. Mount Hope Farm is a perfect destination whenever you want to spend time enjoying nature as it transforms through the seasons. Depending on when you visit, you may find snow-laden trees, budding gardens, sailboats on the Bay or colorful autumn leaves. Each exploration of our 127-acres will acquaint you with new vistas and aspects of the Farm.

Our History
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, known today as Mount Hope Farm, is the ancestral home and sacred territory of the Pokanoket Nation. This land, known indigenously as Sowams and this specific promontory as Potumtuk, served for generations as the seat of the Pokanoket Massasoits, including Ousamequin and Metacom (King Philip).
We recognize the enduring connection the Pokanoket people have to these lands and waters, despite a history of conflict, displacement, and erasure. We honor their past, present, and future stewardship of this land and commit to fostering a relationship of respect, reconciliation, and partnership with the Pokanoket Tribal people.
You can learn more about the Pokanoket here.
The recent study of primary source materials has confirmed that during the 18th century at least twenty-three enslaved people of African, Indigenous, and multi-racial descent were present on Mount Hope Farm. We recognized that it was their forced labor which allowed the farm to prosper so that, centuries later, we can serve as the stewards of this land. We will make every effort to respectfully honor their lives and legacies by sharing their stories.
