Historic Houses

Built from the Colonial Era to the Modern Movement, our historic homes represent architecture, design, and history that spans more than 300 years. When you visit these destinations—which include a Gilded Age country estate, a Stuart-style mansion, and a Federal-style home in the midst of a breathtaking garden—you can expect something more than a plain old house tour. The homes mesh historic context and aesthetic beauty, emphasizing seldom-heard stories and unlikely historical connections. With a series of creative exhibitions and fresh visitor experiences, these dwelling seek to animate history, provoke conversation, and stimulate new thinking while reinterpreting our cultural past.
