Historic New England is the region's storyteller, opening its doors to share four centuries of New England home and family life. Discover the stories of early colonists and immigrants who came to New England to build a new life, farmers and their families who made a living off the land for generations, and men and women who worked to preserve their family homes. Explore unique and personal family collections of decorative arts and household furnishings.
From the 1664 Jackson House, a classic example of early New England architecture and the oldest surviving house in New Hampshire, to the 1938 Gropius House, home to Walter Gropius, one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, Historic New England has hundreds of years of history to share with visitors. From Wiscasset, Maine, to Lincoln, Rhode Island, to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, learn about the people who lived in stone-enders, urban mansions, rural estates, and working farms during free guided tours at Historic New England’s house museums.
