No Finer Place

The Fells Exhibit in the Main Floor Gallery is “No Finer Place”, an inspiring art exhibit that showcases the diverse talents of local artists. The exhibit celebrates the unique tranquility and charm of our landscape and highlights the beauty that attracted John Milton Hay to this corner of New Hampshire.

Capturing a Moment in Time

The Second Floor Gallery, “Capturing a Moment in Time”, features paintings done during previous Artist Weekends. The Fells is a special place with a rich history and artists come to capture the beauty and magic that is The Fells.  

Weddings are held at The Fells and guest love to buy paintings of iconic images painted during Artist Weekend.

Art Works are available for purchase at The Fells Welcome Center.

Poetry Walk at The John Hay Estate at the Fells

The Poetry Walk is a collaboration between the Newbury Public Library and the John Hay Estate at The Fells. Our mission is to promote a love of poetry and a deeper connection to our natural world, through the installation of 16 poems throughout the landscape of The Fells. To follow the Poetry Walk during your visit to the John Hay Estate at The Fells, find a map at the Visitor’s Kiosk in the upper parking lot. You then follow the map during your walk around the trails and gardens to enjoy the poems.

This poetry installation is rotated annually to reflect the changing times and we welcome your suggestions for future poems. You may contact us at info@thefells.org.

Poem selection and poem placement is done by a committee made up of Lea McBain of The Newbury Public Library, Nancy Marashio, Newbury’s Poet Laureate Dianalee Velie, and Jocelyn Fraser of The Fells.
