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.
"Sheepshearing...catches the “going somewhere interesting”... in the annual shift from winter to summer and brings a general public together in a colorful festivity..."- VSB
Gore Place is one of only a small number of farms in the United States raising Leicester Longwool sheep.
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.
