Looking for a relaxing afternoon but can’t get to the Stevens-Coolidge Place gardens in person? Tune into Facebook Live every Thursday at 3pm to enjoy a live stream of our gardens. Each week we’ll setup a camera in new location to spot chirping birds, nibbling bunnies and of course flowers! 

This program is free of charge, but if you are in a position to do so, donations can be submitted using the link below to support The Stevens-Coolidge Place. Thank you from The Trustees:

Friday, June 26, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Virtual Tour of Jackson Homestead Museum in Newton

by

The Jackson Homestead and Museum is one of two historic house museums that comprise Historic Newton and is now home to exhibitions on the history of food, farming, and family life; slavery and anti-slavery; and notable people and events in Newton, Mass.

Join us and Clara Silverstein for an online tour of the federal-style house built in 1809 for Timothy Jackson and his family.

This free tour, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on June 26. will focus specifically on the complex legacy of slavery and abolitionism at the homestead, including its history as a stop on the Underground Railroad.
