Located in North Yarmouth Maine, the farm was previously owned by the late Ken Sowles, an avid carriage collector. It was purchased in 2000 in order to preserve the farm and carry on Ken's tradition. Whether as a consignor, bidder or spectator, we look forward to welcoming you to Skyline Farm and its carriage museum.
