The Stevens-Coolidge House is available as a photography site. It’s the perfect place for photoshoots for family, friends, a bridal party, an anniversary, and more. The Trustees are the owners and managers of the land. This member-supported nonprofit conservation group works to safeguard rare places across Massachusetts and protects properties of extraordinary aesthetic, historic, and ecological importance for public use and pleasure. The Stevens-Coolidge Place is accessible for professional outdoor photography/portraits on a commission or in-kind basis. Enter the world of a former farm that became an early-20th-century estate, where an elegant and polished mansion is complemented by a newly expanded array of abundant gardens and flora. From 1914 to 1962, Helen Stevens Coolidge and her husband, John Gardner Coolidge—a diplomat descended from Thomas Jefferson and a nephew of Isabella Stewart Gardner—had their vacation home at Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens. The Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens are situated on land that was once used for hunting and fishing by the Pennacook, Pawtucket, Massa-adchu-es-et, and Pentucket peoples. John and Elizabeth Stevens, who emigrated from England in the 1640s, were among North Andover's early European residents. Their grandchildren bought the land in 1729 and began farming it, naming it Ashdale Farm after the huge number of white ask trees that originally thrived on the property. For six generations, the Stevens family has cultivated this land. When Helen Stevens Coolidge inherited Ashdale Farm in 1914, it had become more of a family getaway than a money-making enterprise. Helen and her husband, John Gardner Coolidge, a US diplomat, made the property their holiday home. The home and gardens were renovated by noted preservation architect Joseph Everett Chandler, and the Coolidges converted the property into an extraordinary example of a neo-Georgian Colonial Revival mansion over the period of over five decades.

We continue to comply to state laws and mandates, but we have successfully hosted events of all sizes in recent months, and we want to continue to do so throughout the rest of the year. Please contact Ashley Piazza, our Director of Events, if you have any questions or would like more information! Smolak Farms Information Smolak Farms has a long and illustrious history. Michael Smolak, the farm's owner, was present during his Aunt Willie's wedding on the farm when he was two years old. He had no idea at the time, back in 1954, that his wedding would mark the beginning of a long and lovely history of couples choosing Smolak Farms as their wedding location of choice. The farm has roots that date back as far as 4500 years, to the time when Native Americans originally settled on the property. The lovely rolling hills of orchards and farmland that cover 125 acres serve as the perfect setting for this extremely important bonding experience between two individuals. Being linked to nature and all of the beauty it has to offer is a great way to begin a union that brings together not only two people, but two families and two lives as a whole. The pine forest was a favorite picnic spot for Farmer Smolak and his family when they were children, and it has since become a destination for friends and relatives from all over the world. What stories those 100-year-old pines could tell about the many families who have enjoyed their shade and the countless couples who have exchanged holy vows beneath their canopy, if only they could communicate. Their sheer size and presence causes one to take a moment to reflect.

Willow Spring Vineyards places a premium on community and quality. As a young family winery, our dedication to the people, vines, and environment that make up the region we call home is strong. We invite everyone to come by and participate in this event. We'll most likely be tending the vines or harvesting the grapes alongside family and friends if we take a stroll around the vineyards. So come try our wine and become a part of the Willow Spring Vineyards legend. At Willow Spring Vineyards, we can make your fantasy come true, whether it's an exquisite setting, rustic charm, or a green facility. This hidden gem, only 30 miles north of Boston, is the ideal venue for your big day. Willow Spring Vineyards is a picture-perfect location for unforgettable events in our hand-hewn post and beam barn, which sits on more than twenty acres of land. The barn can accommodate up to 99 people for events. A large landscape project completed in 2015 resulted in a lovely lawn area and patio with a stunning fireplace. This grass is large enough to accommodate a tent for up to 200 people. In the year 2000, Jim and Cindy Parker bought a dilapidated barn and a plot of land from Mary Ray. We started the adventure with a strong focus on restoration and agriculture. Beginning with the dismantling of the eighteenth-century building, we began mapping and marking each piece in preparation for potential re-assembly. The edifice was pulled down piece by piece and logged for rebuilding with the help of family, friends, neighbors, and passers-by. For the huge space, an energy efficient system was designed as part of the green building planning. This barn is truly green, thanks to geothermal heating and cooling and a photovoltaic system (solar panels). Our two acres of grapes surround the beautiful 18th century barn, which can easily be seen from the road. The magnificent 25+ acres continue behind the barn, which may be appreciated from the wraparound deck or in front of the majestic hearth.

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is an indoor venue on Merrimack Street in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts.

Blackall, Clapp & Whittemore, an architectural firm, designed the 2,800-seat facility in 1922. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is administered by Lowell Management Group and is located in scenic and historic downtown Lowell. Mill City Operation, which is owned and run by Tom McKay, Terry McCarthy, and Leo Creegan, took over management of the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in 1995. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium continues to thrive as a destination for all types of attractions under MCM's guidance, and is now busier than ever. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium has hosted events about 250 days a year in previous years. Walking through the structure is like reliving Lowell's and America's military history. All of the major combat sites from the American Revolution, including Bunker Hill and Trenton, Gettysburg and Appomattox, San Juan Hill, Bellows Wood, and Chateau-Thiery, are well-known. Many more fought, bled, and died in lesser-known engagements, which are also commemorated in the entablature. Fair Oaks, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania, Chapultec, Soissons, and other cities have been named after them. To those who fought or died in them, all conflicts are as important. The Auditorium now sits at the gateway to Historic Downtown Lowell, a beautiful and suitable monument to welcome visitors and possibly Belvidere's most proud structure.
