Lovely Naumkeag, a Trustees of Reservations property, is one of the few surviving examples of a Gilded Age country estate to have survived intact. The extravagant 44-room “cottage” was built in 1884 to serve as a family summer retreat for the Choate family. Besides admiring the remarkably preserved single-shingle home which still contains all the original furnishings and décor, you can also tour the superb gardens, which were laid out over a period of thirty years. The beautiful property is open to the public between April and October each year – entry to the home is by guided tour only. The gardens can be explored at your own pace and highlights include the recently-restored glasshouse, the Rose Garden, Chinese Garden and Afternoon Tea Garden.
