About the Business

Gore Place is a historic house and museum that has been named a National Historic Landmark. Visitors can take guided tours of the property Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Each tour is approximately 45 minutes long.

Gore Place is the Federal period estate of the former Massachusetts Governor Christopher Gore. This mansion is renowned for its beautiful furnishings, earning it the title of "The Monticello of the North" among architectural historians.

The mission of the Gore Place Society is to promote and preserve the 1806 estate of Christopher and Rebecca Gore as an educational resource to demonstrate early 19th century American life. The estate still has a small farm with sheep, goats, poultry, and a Farm Stand which sells vegetables produced with organic practices. Any extra produce is donated to local food pantries and shelters.

Gore Place has multiple programs throughout the year, including rental opportunities. For more information and to view up-to-date program schedules, please visit their website.

Publisher Info

  • The mansion at Gore Place was built in 1806 and served as a summer home for Christopher and Rebecca Gore until 1816 when the Gores returned from Washington to live in Waltham year-round. The Gores entertained such notable dignitaries as Daniel Webster and James Monroe in their beautiful home, "outfitted for all seasons." Today this Federal period historic house is owned and operated by the Gore Place Society, a nonprofit members organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Gore Place.
