The Lyman Estate, also known as “the Vale,” is a National Historic Landmark and one of the finest U.S. examples of a country estate following eighteenth-century English naturalistic design. In 1793 shipping merchant Theodore Lyman commissioned famed architect Samuel McIntire to design and build a Federal-style house for his family.
The thirty-seven acres include beautifully preserved gardens and historic greenhouses. Hear the story of over 150 years of history at the mansion, which is used today as a venue for weddings and corporate events. Its architectural features include a graceful oval parlor and elegant ballroom, which can be seen in the 2019 film adaptation of Little Women.
Tours are 1st and 3rd Saturdays at 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00. Purchase tickets online or on site: $15 adult, $13 senior, $7 student, Free for Historic New England members. There is ample on-site parking for cars in the large lot past the mansion. Please enter through the front door of the mansion to begin your visit.
Stop by the Lyman Estate Greenhouses for beautiful plants and expert advice.
For group reservations, please call 617-994-5912 or email Lyman Estate.
