On Friday, October 9, the Sippican Woman’s Club will visit Highfield Hall and Gardens. Weather permitting, there will be two walking tours – one of the mansion and one of the gardens. Docent Sally Colacicco will lead a walking tour of the restored 1878 estate of the Beebe family. The Mansion is one of the few remaining examples of Stick-style Queen Anne architecture in the Northeast. A separate tour, led by George Chapman, Director of Landscape will lead a tour of the property’s two magnificent gardens which underwent restoration from 2011 to 2013. We will split into two groups and each group will have an opportunity to see the gardens as well as the mansion’s exterior.
This visit will be canceled in case of inclement weather. Lunch will be a “bag” lunch provided by Shipyard Galley. There are garden benches or chairs on the porch, or you may bring a beach towel on which to sit to safely spread out. RSVP is required.
