Stonehurst

H. Richardson and a landscape shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. The Waltham property offers an opportunity to consider how architecture and naturalistic grounds were designed as a connected experience.

Interior tours are by appointment, and private events can close the immediate grounds, so confirm availability with the city before visiting. The surrounding conservation land offers additional walking opportunities under its own rules. Allow time for the house’s exterior and landscape relationships as well as any arranged tour, and follow the published route to the secluded hilltop site.
