What was life like before the electric light? Join a guide dressed in period clothing for a Moonlight Visit to the 1806 Mansion at Gore Place, entitled Living In the Dark. You'll see the graceful Great Stairs, the lovely Oval Withdrawing Room, the Peacock Parlor, the Great Hall, bed chambers, sitting rooms, and more. Along the way, your guide will tell stories about living by candlelight and point out the many devices used to light the house in the early 1800s. The style and quality of the historic furnishings, the many Boston-built pieces, and the personal touches make this one of New England's best historic houses.
