Gore Place has the largest and finest collection of Boston-made Federal-period furniture of any historic house museum in the US.
A chair in the corner of the library that a reader could use to sit forward or backward. It has red leather on its seat and armrests, and a surface for writing attached at the top of the chairback.
"My long-time fascination with Gore Place is the implementation of so many innovations--indoor well and plumbing, hot water shower, central heating…"- JC
Our grounds are open for free from dawn to dusk, every day of the year except during our Sheepshearing Festival.
Help us continue our mission!
The mission of Gore Place is to continue Christopher and Rebecca Gore's spirit of innovation and appreciation of natural beauty and culture through public programming and events at the Gores' 1806 country estate that encompasses a museum, green space, and a working farm.
