Castle Tucker

1807 mansion maintained by Historic New England; extraordinary furnishings and design details.

Reviewed By Karrie007

Our guide, Jennifer, practically brought the Lees and Tuckers to life for us with all that she shared about the history of Castle Tucker. It was a fascinating tour peeking into rooms that once throbbed with life. The contents were the "real thing," not period pieces brought in, but items actually owned and used by the family. Since we were the only two in the tour, I think we saw a bit more, but the time flew by.
