Our tour guide, Rebecca, made it very worth our while - with her scholarly and a bit dishy background on all the famous people who had been part of Naumkeag's development. The gardener took... More

The building has the original furnishings. The grounds are like they just left for the day. It is nice visiting a piece of history.

This is run by the Trustees of the Reservations. We were members and were able to get in free.
