Things to do This Weekend

Looking for something to do in Massachusetts this weekend? Here are some highlights across the state.

Welcome to the weekend! 

It sure is cold outside, which makes our historic house tours feel extra cozy! This weekend is the perfect time to visit the Old Manse in Concord. Take one of many tours. From Home to Two Revolutions, to our Family-Friendly tour, or a tour by Candlelight, choose your own adventure. 

Like the feeling of breathing in the cold air and getting outdoors during this time of year? Then the Crane Estate in Ipswich is your destination this weekend! Join CraneOutdoors for a Sunset Hike to Cedar Point with Firepits, a Wildlife Walk, or the Castle Hill Hike. For a family-friendly outing, consider the CraneExplorers Winter Wildlife Walk. 

In honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, please join us Monday at any of our Trustees properties. All properties* will be offering free grounds admission, and free parking on Monday.  

*(Offer not valid at World’s End, non-Members please plan to pay for parking)
