Lovely estate but unfortunately closed for private event on my visit, so Ill have to return. Interactive self-guided tour stops is pretty cool.

Very splendid fall day on the estate grounds. Plenty of parking and large area make this a good spot to socially distance with a picnic. There are a few outdoor picnic tables.

Always enjoy going there,always have new and different things.This was fun finding all the little fairies they had listed on there paper.

Beautiful place to visit. Membership to Historic New England allows us to enjoy so many wonderful places across the North East

They keep the grounds so beautiful. Terrific place for family fun or a romantic walk!

A great historic house, and a great way to spend some time learning about the area. The staff are friendly and pleasant, and this is a house, go ahead and sit on the furniture. The grounds have more historic buildings, and there are frequent art events that add even more to the experience.

Great tour! But very expensive :( our guide definitely knew her stuff, but I wish their was a little more info about the Eustis family. The house is stunning and appropriately restored! My favorite part was the nursery rhyme tiles

The grounds are so peaceful 100s of acres in view of Blue Hills

What a beautiful house and grounds. The whole place felt warm and inviting. The staff were all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as well. Would definitely visit again.

My wife and I originally wanted to hiking in the blue hills reservation, but couldnt get parked anywhere so we resigned ourselves to just going home and having a wasted journey. On the way out of Milton we spotted a sign for this museum and popped in on chance. We really enjoyed the visit and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Spectacular mansion/castle. The artistry is astounding with every room a work of art. Each room has its own individually tiled & carved fireplace. May be one of the best restored & preserved houses Ive had the pleasure to see. The grounds are gorgeous. This should be on everyones old house tour list

Beautiful grounds. The museum is currently closed.

A beautiful mansion which has been lovingly preserved as it was in the past. A private residence up to 2014. Staff here are awesome and you can sit on the furniture!A gem. Admission is $15 per or $12 for seniors. Part of the Historic New England houses if you are a member. No other discounts.

So beautiful! Well researched and documented. Grounds are lovely and the staff encourages you to dawdle.

This is a great place to bring the family.

Beautiful location

Spectacular example of late 19th century architecture (for a VERY wealthy family). Beautiful interior, exterior, and grounds. Lots of quirkiness in a house that is warm and inviting, and which even 21st century guests could imagine living in (if they could afford the upkeep!). Outstanding interactive video guides in most rooms. You can spend a lot of time drilling down into the history of the house, its design, inspiration, original owners and descendants, changes over the years, etc. Or you can breeze through and just be amazed at every turn. The grounds are gorgeous. Theres lots of interesting information on the original landscaping and partially executed plans. Go see it; youll be glad you did!

Lovely estate home, now museum, on beautiful grounds. Historic New England at its best!

This is a fabulous place! We went near Christmas time and the decorations were delightful. The staff was very friendly. My little son had a great time!

The house is amazing and well worth the trip. The people who work there are very helpful... Great day trip for all ages

Well worth a visit, a lovely place to picnic

Beautiful stone mansion with unique funishings and decorative fireplaces. Staff is well versed in history of the house and the family. Early use of independent electrical system powered by windmill.Self guided tour assisted by frequent touchscreens.

Beautiful property

Beautiful grounds and architecture.

Beautiful restoration with good interactive tablets full of information for self-guided touring, the option for a guided tour, a chance to touch and sit in some of the furniture, and special events. Beautiful grounds very near Blue Hills Reservation natural area with trails.

Wow. What a cool place. No, it’s not the oldest house you can tour, and no, it’s not the biggest, either. However, it’s one of my favorite houses we’ve toured simply because of the level of preservation and the experience. The details are incredible and if you take a guided tour, you’ll be sure to learn about all of the details (it’s worth it). The coolest part about this house is that while it’s massive still, it feels livable. You could actually imagine a family occupying this home. Also, definitely go explore the grounds. There are some little hidden gems.

Very interesting and beautiful grounds. The house is gorgeous. The attention to detail amazing. Grounds are lovely. A wonderful day.

Very impressed. What a fun educational place to go to in Milton. The home and grounds are beautiful. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home, full of history. Each room is equipped with a tablet that allows you to explore the history of each room and its contents.

Visited here on Museum Day and was really happy I did. This place was always a mystery to me when I lived in Hyde Park so getting through the gates and touring the place was a real treat. The fact that the family still lived there just a few years ago with very little modern updates was amazing to me. Beautiful estate and I am sure that this venue will only get better.

Beautiful architecture!!! The attention to detail is exquisite! The jewelry displays are carefully curated and displayed upstairs, and unlike many other estates, most of this one is open to view up close.

Beautiful experience — and as others have said: the architectural details and historical elements make for a unique experience.They didn’t tell me this when I bought my admission ticket at the visitor center (separate small building just outside the Eustis Estate), but if you join Historic New England, then it essentially pays for your admission and gets you lots of other perks:- free admission to the Eustis Estate anytime- ability to utilize the grounds and picnic areas for a BYO picnic- free copy of vintage book in “America’s Kitchens”- free admission to the 15+ other estates around the New England area (would make for fun road trips around MA, RI, ME, NH, etc.The guy working the desk at the visitor center was not the friendliest person I’ve ever met, but once you get past that you’ll get better information from the various people working inside the Eustis Estate.There are large video screens in each room that alllow you to self-tour and deep-dive into historical information about each space and its contents (great visuals too), but I also liked having the same information on their mobile site and easy-to-navigate from my iphone.One thing that I wasn’t thrilled about was that they asked me to try to avoid being in the same room as the people who had paid for a guided tour. First, I was never even told about the option to have a guided tour when I bought my admission ticket. Second, I felt like it prevented me from spending quality amount of time in those spaces when I was there — just so those folks wouldn’t feel like I was stalking and listening.I almost missed it, but make sure you seek out the kitchen. It can be easy to miss since the hallway leading to it is a small corridor off the side of the entrance. Amazing old cast iron stove, knob & tube call boxes, and other cool and unique historical elements in this space.In the library upstairs, I met a wonderful woman who gave me lots of good info about the Eustis Estate. She convinced me to join Historic New England, and I went back to the visitor center to get my book and admission credited against my membership. I also plan to come back with my family for a picnic there while the weather is still nice.

Great historical house full of reading nooks and wonderful architecture! The guides were helpful and knowledgeable.

Outstanding presentation. This is a spot not to be missed

This place was beautiful. Ample parking, grounds. They let you sit in the furniture and interact with displays at your own pace. The gift shop is nifty and the power plant interesting!

Nearly restored Georgian home in Milton just outside of Boston.

One of the most beautiful historic houses that Ive visited. Our guide Amy tops my list of best tour guides ever. She was so knowledgeable, welcoming and willing to answer all our questions. Highly recommend this Historic New England house. The surrounding grounds are so well kept and perfect for a peaceful, relaxing walk.

Unique house displayed in an unusual, free-form way.

My partner and I toured here today to see it as a possible wedding venue! We are DEFINITELY booking it. The property is beautiful and the docents are friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell they really love the property are passionate about history. Special shout outs to Peter and Daniel who were both absolutely fantastic to talk to! We will definitely be coming back for the public events in the years to come and are very excited about having our wedding here.

Loved it.great place to visit and relax.

Beautiful home, self guided tour is outstanding as are the interpreters.

Fantastic house and property. You can take a guided tour or virtual tour, either way you wont be disappointed.

Wonderfully preserved home and beautiful grounds. Our tour guide was excellent. Don’t miss the charming pond behind Mr. Eustis’ power station.

The latest addition to the Historic New England family is a beautiful starter home thats thatd in the same family for three generations. It is more open to interaction than Im used to seeing in such a house. We can touch furniture, sit on some things, and its generally more accessible than I normally see. The interior is incredible, with some unique fireplace designs and intricate wood work. The outside has a beautiful lawn that would be great for a picnic.

Nice grounds. The interior is interesting but feels smaller on the inside than expected. Pay attention to when there are free weekends.

Amazing and very informative staff. Great way to spend time on a Cold weekend.

You must go! Beautiful house and grounds, passionate guides (ask for Barbara) and interactive electronic displays. Fee for Milton residents.

Really amazing, great tour guide and staff, worth the trip

What a special opportunity to go inside a mansion I have driven past my whole life. I am so impressed by the restoration of the property so far. I just wish they had more details on the original family.

Beautiful place to spend a few hours. Take the guided tour if possible. House and story very interesting.

A look back at the lives of the 19th century upper class in Bostons railroad suburbs

Very historical stuffs and clean sorroundings.

This estate is absolutely stunning. Give yourself plenty of time to attempt to absorb all the beauty that surrounds you in this magnificent home. Historic New England had truly given us a gift to be shared with future generations. Bravo

Excellent Historical New England site. Meticulously restored, computer interactive stations through out the house concerning all aspects of life on the estate. Gorgeous architecture with a story to tell. A must see.

Enchanting house and beautiful grounds. Guides were very knowledgeable along with interactive computer displays in each room.

Its so beautiful and peaceful. If youve driven past this for decades your whole life, and always wondered what it would be like, you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful venue for a wedding. An interesting historical museum, very unique architectural features.

The grounds and house are lovely, and the staff is very friendly. The jewelry exhibits were an unexpected bonus. The house is also more interactive (you can open cabinets and sit on the furniture) then most such museums.

Absolutely gorgeous mansion. A piece of history right in my backyard. So glad this gem was preserved and now open to the public where we can enjoy the architecture and learn its history.

Thank you to this wonderful venue for hosting our event! The location is incredible and gorgeously situated in town!

Beautifully restored, Craftsman mansion with extensive grounds. The tour was excellent and very informative.

Beautiful place to visit.

A wonderful place to spend the day relaxing and learning about the area! Be sure to bring a picnic for warm days!

Wonderful building and grounds. Very informative docent. Take the tour and then use the interactive kiosks to explore further.

Gorgeous house and grounds.

WOW I want to move in. I am surprised that I have never visited before. I was nearby and found it by accident. It was very much worth the time I spent.

Join Historic New England for a wonderful glimpse into history.

The craftsmanship on display is incredible.The staff could not be nicer. What a great way to spend an afternoon!

Worth a visit for being so close to Boston. The Fall estate tour was also fun.

This place was beautiful. Staff super friendly and very knowledgeable.
