Spend a 19th-century-style evening in at one of New England's most gorgeous mansions, experiencing what a social call to one of Massachusetts' society families might have been like. See Gore Place, the historic estate in Waltham, by evening's light in this tour about life on a country estate in the early 19th century. The Gores were a power couple of the time and their home reflected their refinement and political aspirations. With its spiral staircase, marble floors and oval rooms, the elegantly furnished mansion has been called "the Monticello of the North," and architectural historians consider it to be the most significant Federal period mansion in New England.
