On Saturday, July 7, at 10 a.m. the public will have a unique opportunity to learn about the evolution of the landscape surrounding the Hamilton House with Gary Wetzel, Historic New England’s Piscataqua Area Landscape and Garden Manager. Using historic photographs of the site, Wetzel will help participants imagine the changes in the landscape as wilderness yielded to a busy commercial waterfront, then to farming, and finally, to formal gardens. During the tour, Wetzel will share his deep knowledge of the site and 30 years of experiences tending its gardens and landscape.
Hamilton House is located at 40 Vaughan’s Lane, South Berwick, Maine. The Hamilton House Landscape and Garden Tour will begin in Visitor Center located in the brown garden cottage. Admission for Historic New England members is $8, $12 for non-members. Participants may tour the house the day of the Landscape and Garden Tour at no additional cost. Space on the tour is limited, please register in advance by calling (207) 384-2454 or online at www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
Hamilton House is owned and operated by Historic New England, the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive regional heritage organization in the country. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the lives and stories of New Englanders through their homes and possessions. For information, visit www.historicnewengland.org.
