You’re invited to our region-wide Open House

On Saturday, June 3, all thirty-eight historic sites are open free to the public. Join us and bring a friend!

Love architecture, history, fantastic stories, great landscapes, fine art and folk art, and interior design? Then join Historic New England on June 3, 2023 and explore distinctly different historic sites – for free.

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