Boston-made drop-leaf table c. 1805. This 7-1/2 foot diameter table, possibly from the Seymour shop, is believed to be part of the original furnishings for this room. Too low for dining, the tabletop is considered to be a more comfortable height for reading and writing.

"Our daughter had such a great time at the farm. We are so thankful to have Gore Place as part of our community!"
