Working-class History Tour of the Lyman Estate

May 2. @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
$20

From cooking meals to operating factory looms, laborers made the Lyman family’s life on a grand estate possible.

Hundreds of workers were employed as gardeners, maids, and farm hands during the Lyman Estate’s 150+ years of operation. Thousands more held positions in industries that helped the family prosper financially, like the textile mills in Waltham and Holyoke in which the Lymans invested. Explore the working-class history of the Lyman Estate and visit areas of the house not usually on view during this new specialty tour.

Member $15; Nonmember $20.

Please call (617) 994-5912 for more information.
