The house, built in 1774, is a high-quality example of late Georgian architecture. It is now owned by Historic New England, and is open for tours every weekend between June and October, and two Saturdays per month the rest of the year.For travelers who use our custom trip planner, South Berwick holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Sarah Orne Jewett House and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.
