Historic New England Open House

Historic New England Open House includes free admission to select area house museums on Saturday, June 2, 2012.

Travel less than ten miles and be transported through centuries of New England’s history. Discover rare surviving architectural features from the late-seventeenth century at the Browne House; stop by the Cooper-Frost-Austin House, the oldest dwelling still standing in the city of Cambridge; and tour the Lyman Estate, re-opened after more than a year of energy efficiency improvements and cosmetic upgrades.

These three house museums offer free tours on June 2, 2012. All tours are first-come, first-served.
