You’re invited to our region-wide Open House

On Saturday, June 1, all thirty-eight historic sites are open free to the public. Join us for a fun day of fantastic storytelling!

Love architecture, history, fantastic stories, great landscapes, fine art and folk art, or interior design? Then join Historic New England on June 1 for a region-wide Open House and explore distinctly different historic sites – for free.

From seventeenth-century “stone-enders,” to a charming pink Gothic Revival cottage, coastal farms, and a mid-century Bauhaus masterpiece, there is so much to explore. Learn about the people who lived and worked at these sites and take the opportunity to enjoy the open spaces, beautiful gardens, and picturesque farm fields.
