Take a special guided tour of the grounds of historic Hamilton House. On Thursday, July 8, the public will have a unique opportunity to learn about the evolution of the landscape surrounding the Hamilton House with Gary Wetzel, Piscataqua region landscape manager. Imagine the changes in the land as wilderness yielded to a busy commercial waterfront, then to farming, and finally, to formal gardens. As part of the tour, participants will see the early twentieth century photographs that are integral to Historic New England’s current garden restoration efforts at the house.
The Landscape and Garden Tour leaves from the Visitor Center in the brown garden cottage at Hamilton House, 40 Vaughan’s Lane, South Berwick, on Thursday, July 8, at 10:30 a.m. 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 by calling the Historic New England Regional Office at 207-384-2454 or online at www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
