“The huge fireplace and chimney are interesting. Guess this fireplace and chimney can really see Santa Claus get in :)”

Coffin House

Address: 14 High St, Newbury, MA 01951, USA

“Fascinating house occupied by 5 generations of Coffins (ancestors of ours). Different eras represented in each area, from late 1600's to mid 1800's. Original furniture, wallpaper, etc. The house was modified repeatedly and our guide (who was also distantly related to us) was a fountain of knowledge. Only open 2 weekends a month during tourist season, but private tours (like ours) can be arranged for a $100 fee, or you can join for $65 dollars and the tour is free. The Society owns multiple properties throughout New England.”

Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm

Address: 5 Little’s Ln, Newbury, MA 01951, USA

“Well-done tour through a historic house dating to 1690. Historic New England has carefully set it up to display various periods in the long life of the house. Different rooms are furnished to different periods. In some places, holes in walls are left open so that you can see how the house has been changed and modernized over the years.”

Dole-Little House

“Open to visitors only twice a year. 6/1/19 today was one of them 11am-3pm with historic New England. House is from 1715 but because if inaccurate preservation, a lot of the original details were removed. Nice exposed structures & knew braces explained by the current renter and your guide. Huge fireplaces!...can roast a few pigs in there ;-)”
