You’ll see the graceful Great Stairs, the lovely Oval Withdrawing Room, the Peacock Parlor, the Great Hall, the bedchambers, sitting rooms, and more. The style and quality of the furnishings, the many Boston-built pieces, and the fabulous personal touches make this one of New England’s best historic house tours.

"My favorite thing about Gore Place is the tours. Even though the path through the Mansion is the same, every tour is different, and I learn something new every time."
