👀 “I’ve always wondered what this place was.”
🤔 “I had no idea this was here.”
😲 “I’ve walked around up there a hundred times, but I've never been inside.”
If this sounds like you when it comes to Stonehurst, the Robert Treat Paine Estate—let’s change that!
✨ A National Historic Landmark hidden from the street on 109 acres of woodlands, meadows, and trails, Stonehurst is the most intact example of Henry Hobson Richardson’s groundbreaking country house design—and the only one open to the public.🏰
Once the country home of social reformer Robert Treat Paine (great-grandson of one of our nation’s founding fathers) and his family, Stonehurst is more than just beautiful—it’s a window into history. The convention-breaking house crowns a spectacular rise selected by Frederick Law Olmsted, widely considered the father of American landscape architecture. 🌿
Take a guided tour with our curator, and you’ll quickly see why we’re called Waltham’s hidden gem. 💎
