Friends of the Goodnow Library Announce New Passes

5/2/2019

 
Just in time for spring and summer, the Friends of the Goodnow Library are pleased to announce two new additions to their growing list of passes to local museums and attractions. The new additions are Historic New England and the Trustees of Reservations.
Historic New England
Explore the authentic New England experience from the seventeenth century to today. Visit Historic New England properties, browse collections, and more. Historic New England is a historic preservation organization which owns and operates historic house museums and properties open to the public throughout most of New England. The majority of the 36 properties are in Massachusetts, but locations exist in all NE states but Vermont. These include Castle Tucker (Wiscasset, ME), the Jackson House (Portsmouth, NH), the Spencer-Pierce-Little Farm, (Newbury, MA), Roseland Cottage (Woodstock, CT), the Otis House (Boston, MA), the Lyman Estate (Waltham, MA), Gropius House (Lincoln, MA), and the Arnold House (Lincoln, RI). Styles represented include Federal, Colonial Revival, Victorian, Queen Anne, Arts & Crafts, and Modern, among many others. The website provides much detail, including directions, contact information, and history of each property.
Please note that each property has its own schedule of days and hours open. Please check the Historic New England website before booking the passes.
The library pass admits up to 2 adults and their children under 18 free to any of the Historic New England properties.


The Trustees of Reservations
The Trustees of the Reservations preserve and protect more than 116 special properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value—nearly 25,000 acres—all around Massachusetts. Properties include historic mansions, estates, and gardens; woodland preserves; waterfalls; mountain peaks; wetlands and riverways; coastal bluffs, beaches, and barrier islands; farmland and CSA projects; and archaeological sites.  From Crane’s Beach in Ipswich and World’s End in Hingham to The Old Manse in Concord and Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, visitors to Trustees sites enjoy local history and nature in its various forms: beaches, meadows, forests, swamps and more.
.Each pass admits two adults and children under 18 at the Family Membership admission price at the properties that charge admission. This varies from property to property; please check The Trustees website before booking a pass.
Passes may be reserved in advance in person, on the phone or by visiting www.goodnowlibrary.org .
