Lyman Estate

- Waltham
Lyman Estate preserves a country-house landscape in Waltham with historic gardens and an important greenhouse complex.
The property reflects the changing tastes and working needs of several generations of the Lyman family.
Check Historic New England’s current schedule before visiting, since mansion tours, greenhouse access and grounds visits follow different arrangements. The credited photograph shows part of the greenhouse setting rather than the house facade. Allow time to appreciate the landscape and the structures used to grow ornamental plants, and book an interior tour separately if that is part of your plan.
