Walk in the paw-prints of the Lyman family’s beloved pets on the rolling paths and garden trails of the 37-acre Lyman Estate! Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join their owners on this edition of the Lyman Estate landscape tour. Enjoy the outdoors together while learning about the fascinating history of the grounds.
Landscape and horticulture were always integral to the estate. This site was home to pleasure grounds, formal gardens, a working farm, greenhouses, and woodlands for over four generations of the Lyman family. See how the grounds have changed over time and explore that which has remained intact in spite of it.
Member $15; Nonmember $20. Please call 617-994-6672 for more information.
