In 2012, we invite you to join us in the pursuit of leisure at Historic New England’s Phillips House Museum. Much of our programming will look at how the family played, travelled, collected, and enjoyed the company of a large number of friends and family after they moved into 34 Chestnut Street in September of 1912. A variety of programs including walking tours, lectures, and social events will share the story of fun in the early twentieth century.
