Ames Mansion

Surprisingly well maintained mansion featuring original furnishings and artwork. The 3-floor tour is good, but too rushed: there is a lot to see and 30 minutes isn't long enough.

This mansion was so cool! I have been in New England for nearly two years as a missionary and every Monday we do something recreational, this was by far one of the best Mondays of my time here. I wish i could be there for the full Sunday $10 tour. You will learn a lot of cool stuff. I won't spoil any of it. Come with a big group!! We didn't even have time to explore much of the property so I'm sure it's even better for someone who has more then just an hour or two on their hands. Also, fun fact that I will spoil, "knives out" was filmed here!! Remember the $5 parking ticket.

Went when the mansion was closed. Just walked around the grounds. It cost $5 to park but was worth it imo.
Would like to go back and tour the mansion when it's open for tours.

50 years ago as a young teenager me and my friends lived near here and use to sneak around and explore the property, thought it was someone's castle. Didn't seem like anyone was ever home. Never went inside or did anything bad. Remember a giant copper dragon as a fountain by the pond. The shed had an old pump up and down firetruck of sorts. One time we heard someone famous had just visited here.

Beautiful Mansion on a lot of land. Information plaques are places around the outside of the home about the family and the build of the home. It's a really gorgeous site on a nice day. We didn't take a tour but just walked the grounds like a bunch of other ppl do. A few dog walkers. A large parking lot that looks like it can hold up to 100 cars or so. Beautiful pictures to take. And fun history to learn if your interested. Love this place we've come twice now and it's such a relaxing time.
