Sun, Feb 12 at 1 and 3pm; Tue, Feb 14 at 7:30pm. Few writers of any era have written more insightfully or entertainingly on the subject of romantic love than has Jane Austen. This Valentine’s Day Weekend, the popular Jane Austen Tours of the Governor Gore mansion return with the theme of The Art of Romance in the Austen Era. During these special tours of the beautiful 1806 mansion, a guide dressed in period clothing will use quotes from Austen's novels and letters to describe the triumphs and foibles of love in Austen's time.

Admission is $14, $10 members and ages 5-12. Capacity limited. To order, call: (781) 894-2798.
