Federal Period Historic House

The Federal period, historic house and estate of Massachusetts Governor Christopher Gore includes a small farm with sheep, goats and poultry. The elegantly furnished mansion has been called “the Monticello of the North” and architectural historians consider it to be the most significant Federal period mansion in New England.

Please note: the mansion will be closed on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 for the
Independence Day holiday. There will be no tours or take a walk on those days.
