From cooking meals to operating a factory loom, laborers made the Lyman family’s life on a grand estate possible.
Hundreds of workers were employed in occupations like gardeners, maids, and farm hands during the Lyman Estate’s 150+ years of operation. Thousands more held positions in industries that helped the family prosper financially, like the textile mills in Waltham and Holyoke that the Lyman’s invested in. Explore the working-class history of the Lyman Estate and visit areas of the house not usually on view during this new specialty tour.
Member $15; Nonmember $20
Life of a Laborer, a Working-Class History Tour will also be offered on July 19, August 16, September 20, October 18 and November 15.
The Lyman Estate is located at 185 Lyman Street, Waltham, Mass. The parking lot is just past the mansion with additional parking along the entrance road to the property. For more information about the program, please call 617-994-5912 or visit HistoricNewEngland.org/Property/Lyman-Estate/.
