Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Founded in 1843, this 1843 museum showcases the natural beauty of rural Massachusetts. Set on over 200 acres of farmland, it's surrounded by stunning views of the Nashua River Valley’s rolling hills, local orchards, hay fields, and hardwood forests.
- Hilltop ceremonies are truly spectacular, with scenic vistas that reach for miles. Cocktails follow on the side lawn, followed by dinner and dancing on a nearby brick patio that hosts a lovely tent, adorned with beautiful chandeliers, removable walls and large windows.
- Your custom-crafted menu reflects the best flavors of each season. The cuisine is elegantly prepared and thoughtfully presented, with local and sustainable ingredients sourced from area farms and artisan purveyors.
