Built in 1891 to be the summer home of Sir Christopher Buckley, the Ravenswood Historic Site is a popular venue for weddings and other celebrations. The original main house has been beautifully restored and is joined by a Carriage House and Cottage, all of which are surrounded by sweeping lawns, orchards, vineyards and gardens. You can visit the historic estate and join a guided tour (by costumed docents) on certain days. The tours take about an hour and include the 1885 Cottage, the 1891 Main House and the superb gardens. Groups may book a private guided tour for a fee.
