Gore Place preserves a Federal-era country house and estate in Waltham.

Architecture, grounds and museum interpretation connect the household of Christopher and Rebecca Gore with the people whose work supported life on the property.

Grounds access and guided house tours follow different arrangements, so check the current visitor information before arriving. Seasonal farm and family programs can add another perspective to the estate. Allow time for the landscape as well as the house, and consult the calendar for special events that may affect normal access.
