In 1793, shipping merchant Theodore Lyman commissioned famed architect Samuel McIntire to design and build a Federal-style house for his family. Three additional generations also left their mark on the estate during their 150 years of ownership. Hear the story of the Lyman family and the architecture of the house during a tour of the mansion. Then, head outside to walk the rolling paths and garden trails of the 37-acre estate with your guide. Landscape and horticulture were always integral to the estate. This site was home to pleasure grounds, formal gardens, a working farm, greenhouses, and woodlands for over four generations of the Lyman family. See how the grounds have changed over time and explore that which has remained intact in spite of it.
