Do your kids love exploring old houses?
Thirty-six of the region’s finest historic properties are open free to the public on Saturday, June 5, to celebrate Historic New England’s centennial. As part of this celebration, the Coffin House, Swett-Ilsley House, Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm, and Dole-Little House in Newbury and the Rocky Hill Meeting House are open, all from 11-5.
For one hundred years, Historic New England has served as the region's storyteller, opening its doors to share four centuries of New England home and family life. From the 1664 Jackson House, a classic example of early New England architecture and the oldest surviving house in New Hampshire and Maine, to the 1938 Gropius House, home to Walter Gropius, one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, Historic New England has hundreds of years of history to share with visitors. From Wiscasset, Maine, to Jamestown, Rhode Island, to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, learn about the people who lived in stone-enders, urban mansions, rural estates, and working farms during free guided tours at Historic New England’s house museums.
