Daniel Webster Estate

The Daniel Webster Estate was the country home of statesman Daniel Webster from 1832 until his death in 1852, and today the 14-acre grounds are open to the public with short trails connecting to Webster's Wilderness next door. There is a real sense of history here, from the Queen Anne mansion (rebuilt after an 1878 fire) to Webster's original law office, relocated back onto the property in 2015. The trails themselves are modest, winding around Winslow Pond and Cherry Hill Pond, but they make for a peaceful stroll, and guided tours of the historic buildings are offered monthly.
