Love Gore Place!!! They are so nice and knowledgeable about the mansion and grounds. Highly recommend Jane Austen parties, and any holiday events- frightful fridays, and other educational tours. The mansion is beautiful!! Only outdoor tours now and stargazing, but can’t wait to do the moonlit tours inside when it’s safe again post COVID.

We visited for a corn roast event. food was way overpriced (outside vendors, $4 for a single ear of corn?!) but music and crowd was fun. needs more promotion and focus to achieve potential

Beautiful grounds and facilities. My son and his fiance decided to have their wedding reception here next year and we couldnt be happier.

Attended their annual sheep-shearing festival today. It was loads of fun! The actual shearing was cool - they demonstrated both electric and hand-cut shearing techniques - but that was a small part of the whole festival. They also had demonstrations of spinning wool into yarn along with other crafts (basket weaving, smithing, metal crafting), herding with dogs, and a whole bunch of cool vendors and other demonstrations. Well worth a visit, and very kid-friendly. One of the sheep gave birth to two lambs when they started to shear her!In a few weeks theyll be having their annual plant sale, which is a fantastic place to get interesting and unique vegetables, herbs, and decorative plants for your garden. Lots of varieties that Id never heard of, and already sprouted & ready to plant. I plan to come home with a lot of plants that weekend! Staff and volunteers are all very friendly and knowledgeable as well.

We were invited here for a wedding. The food is average, the area is ok, the service for the cocktail hour was rather slow, so much so, that when a waiter for come out with ordevres, the guests would almost look like they were attacking them so the dish was almost empty by the time the waiter moved away from the entrance. In order to get any food we had to move our party to stand near the entrance.What is good is that it is closer than where we had our wedding on nashoba, so it was ready to get home after, but I still prefer our venue for the sights and the service.They do have ample parking.

Beautiful Historic venue to have a wedding, you should be good with choosing your vendors & have a knack for logistics! However the museum tours, property hayride on tractor & trailor which takes you all around 5 acres of history & nature with a farm area with animals!! Great for families, kids to history buffs!

Cute little farm on a beautiful plot of land. The roasted corn event was so much fun and the band was terrific. Highly recommend!

I went all the way to this place but it was closed and there was no one.

Peaceful place!

Beautiful grounds and a spectacular residence. Best farm stand around! First time we have actually been in the house and well come back for a full tour!

We held a work event here and it was perfect!175 happy people. Ill be returning to explore on my own.

Had my daughters wedding here in August. Ceremony on the lawn, cocktails under the tent, reception in the Carriage House. Everyone loved the venue, Linda is a gem, staff were wonderful and everything was perfect.

Christopher Gore was a contemporary of The Founders of the U.S.A.. Friend of Washington, Franklin, Daniel Webster, Hamilton and many signers of the Constitution. Was an early industrialist and invested in Cambridges earliest industrial park. Invested in Lowells first mills. Financed the first Cambridge-Boston bridge across the Charles River. This is his country estate. As close to British 18th century estates as you can get around Boston. Tours are limited to a small schedule. Check their web site. Grounds and house are well kept. The house is magnificent.

The food was not good and price is so expensive.Nice place to bring your family and friends but a lot of waste is scattered.

Great event venue. Large event tent, plus indoor spaces.

A real historical gem in the middle of Waltham!This place has beautiful grounds and a terrific farm stand (in season).Going here as a child, I can attest that it has one of the best sledding hills around!

Very interesting history. We went on a cold Saturday and since we were the only ones there, we got an individual tour. Guide was very interesting and answered all the questions we had. Very cool!!

Historically important place, well tended and preserved. In flux in a positive direction.

Great place to go and walk around and see sheep and chickens walking around

Good food, pleasant outdoor seating until we started losing the shade.

Like to go to the Sheep Shearing Festival when I can make it. I wish there was a little bit more to do and eat at the festival for adults, but its still a nice day. I love the animals and demonstrations. The grounds and house are beautiful.

Pretty and quiet lots of grounds for walking

We visited for the Sheep Shearing Festival and it was a great experience. The grounds are big and there were so many artisans and vendors to explore. We did not go inside the house but you can tour it. The parking and tickets were well organized and we did not wait long. I would visit again for another event.

We visited during Free Fun Fridays. The tour of the mansion was very educational. We were only shown the first floor. I understand other tours include the second floor, but not that day (likely due to the expected crowd). Our visit inspired us to do several web searched to find out more about the Gores and Gore Place. Thanks for being part of the Highland Foundation Free Fun Friday program!Im not sure why, but we were only allowed to take photographs outside and in the foyer during the tour. There were plenty of other missed photographic opportunities inside.

Great relax acres of land that are ️

Go to the shearing event...had a great time

Nice event space in the heart of Watertown

We are members of Gore place and love all the events put on thoughout the year!

Nice maintained field. We always see circus here. Plenty of parking

Great piece of history. Besides the beautiful mansion, the grounds are nice for a walk. They also have a small farm with animals and you can take your kids to see them.

Very nice area

It was nice plants sale this weekend. I especially appreciate presence of experienced Gardner who helped to choose right plans and give advice about care.

It interesting and old .

LOVE it here! Events on the weekends are so fun! However..even if NOTHIMG happening..its a GORGEOUS place to stroll around!!!

I had a very interesting experience doing the tour. Learned a lot about candles and other things (like snooker). Theres a lot of history here and the tour guide was awesome!

Very nice place to visit. Recommend visitors schedule a tour. A lot of history

The best historical home Ive visited in New England so far. Its the oldest, most authentic, most interesting architecturally -- and theyre constantly striving to improve the historical accuracy of the property. I cant wait to go back when they uncover the nations first indoor toilet. (Really) Or when they install plexiglass to the heaters in the basement which vented into the laundry room. Our docent was the most knowledgeable and gave us a thorough your well worth the money.

Great place for walking around, grounds are open to the public (no dogs allowed though). They also have a small farm stand which swells some eggs, fruits, etc. They usually have events as well

A historic and neat museum of sorts. The main house at Gore Place is able to be experienced via a guided tour. Many interesting rooms, great architecture and a huge area of land to meander about on. The tour is quick (under 1 hours) so while it is not a full day trip, it is worthy of seeing. The location is easily accessible via an MBTA bus route that drops you off about a 5 minute walk from the house.

Very lovely place to visit!

Very enjoyable little historical site. The staff is knowledgeable and interested. I enjoy the many festivals they hold all year.

Saw Cirus Smirkus

Lots of chickens and sheeps. Fresh eggs for sale. Great plants sale.

Great place for small concerts. Warm and welcoming. Really fun.

Great tour.

House built in 1806, good tour, has model for visually-impaired to braille so they know how the layout goes together when they take the tour. Lots of period antiques.

Beautiful open field to go with you and your family, went to acouple events here and their lobster filled Clam BQ and I LOVED it

Nice historic resource. The mansion is near to learn about. Some innovative architectural features for the period, and pretty grounds

Beautiful grounds with a full onsite farm. We saw Circus Smirkus!

Had our company picnic here. Great place!

Wonderful fun every year for the sheep shearing festival

Always a joy to go there.

Very lovely place for a wedding! Clean and beautiful grounds.

Very nice place to host an event. Lots of open space and fields are well kept.
