Beautiful setting and garden at this historic house owned by the New England Historical Society. Definitely worth an afternoon and tour.

This is such a wonderful and historic place to go for a walk, either short or long. There is a network of very wide and well maintained trails in a series of loops that can extend into a lengthy hike. The topography rolls along a bit through the mature oak-pine cover type with nothing very steep or difficult but it's beautiful, clean and refreshing. The best thing is that it's easy to find and get to from the southern Maine and New Hampshire seacoast region. The views of the Salmon Falls River are also great to take in. Definitely a "must see".

Very nice grounds. The house opens in June, but in may you can walk the grounds and enjoy the views. Porta potties available in the parking lot.
