Swett-Ilsley House

In 1911, the Swett-Ilsley House became the first property acquired by Historic New England, just a year after its founding. The original portion, built in 1670 by Stephen Swett, was one room deep, and later additions more than doubled the size of the house. Over the centuries, the building served as a tavern, chocolate shop, chandlery, and press room, in part due to its location on Newbury's most traveled road.

Cogswell's Grant

A mecca for lovers of American folk art, Cogswell’s Grant was the summer home of renowned collectors Bertram K. and Nina Fletcher Little. The colonial-era farmhouse on the property serves as a rich backdrop for their celebrated collection, assembled over a period of nearly sixty years. Though known for their meticulous research, the Littles decorated with an eye for visual delight rather than historic accuracy, and the result is a house rich in atmosphere and crowded with works of strong, even quirky character.

Valley View Farm

Valley View Farms produces several types of cheese products as well as maple syrup and honey. Valley View does not have a farm stand but their products can be found at numerous cheese shops all over New England as well as in local restaurants including Boston: L'Espalier, Garden of Eden, The Federalist, Eastern Standard and Icarus; Cmbridge: Harvest and The Blue Room; Medford: Bistro 5; Amesbury: Flatbread; Newburyport: Aquatini; Beverly: Cygnet, Soma; Hamilton: Black Cow; Salem: Finz.
