It’s spring on Castle Hill on the Crane Estate which means the doors of the Great House will soon be open again. Visitors are always welcome at Castle Hill, but for the last three months the big house at the top of the hill has been closed and quiet. But now, as the days get longer and spring flowers open their buds, so too, the front doors of the Great House will open again to welcome visitors. Starting April 13, the Great House will open for visitors on weekends from 10 am to 4 pm. (The Great House remains closed on weekdays until Memorial Day, May 27.) Anyone who has purchased an entry ticket for Castle Hill is welcome to enjoy the first floor of the grand home, the former summer residence of the Crane family from Chicago. The fully furnished library, dining room, and entry hall offer a taste of the life of the ultra-wealthy in the 1920s. Those who wish to explore further are invited to join one of three guided tours offered throughout the day:  

• Guest of the Cranes takes guests back to 1929 when the Great House was new. Costumed servants greet arriving guests and show them family suites and guest rooms.  
• Cupola with a View interprets the architecture and surrounding land. Ending on the roof, this popular tour treats guests to spectacular 360-degree views.   
• Behind the Scenes highlights the inner workings and the hidden corners of the 59-room mansion with special focus on technological systems and servant life. 

Additional tours will be added after May 27 when the Great House will open 6 days a week (closed on Mondays).  

The gift shop (housed in a former guest room suite) offers a wide range of gifts and mementos. Visitors are encouraged to explore the gardens and grounds, and even bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while gazing out over the New England coastline from Gloucester to Maine. It may be right around the corner in Ipswich, but it feels like a world away! 

Advance reservations can be made at https://thetrustees.org/program/castle-hill-tours/

Hi All, This was actually a long-awaited happy day! The Norway Maples (an invasive species) were dying one by one and dropping limbs plus their exposed roots had become a safety hazard during our summer concert series. Two years ago the Meetinghouse Foundation received a CPA grant to completely restore the green with new disease-resistant Elms, a new lawn with a grid underneath for event parking, new walkways for safe access, soft uplighting on the trees, restored cast-iron tubular fencing between the granite pillars and a sprinkler/irrigation system to sustain the lawn and the Elms. This fall we received a matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, so the work could proceed this spring. The landscape designer and project manager is Doug Cook, principal of the firm Lansdesign on Main Street. Completion is due before the first Music on Meetinghouse Green concert on July 5th…a day we will really celebrate with the whole community. We will be planting Princeton Elms, which are highly disease-resistant, grow quickly and will form a beautiful cathedral-like canopy when mature, as shown in the old photos on the GMG page. We have about $25K left to raise and people may give an Elm in honor of, or in memory of somebody for $3K. There will be a bronze plaque for all the donors and supporting organizations.

Joey, Doug Cook and I would be happy to join you in a GMG Podcast to share more about the project! We are deeply grateful to the Community Preservation Act Committee for their support of this project and for the recent Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant. The restored greed will be a treasure for the whole downtown community to enjoy…in safety.

The Princeton Elms will be between 14-16′ tall when first planted, but Doug Cook says that they will grow fast. This is one of the reasons we are installing an irrigation system for them along with a sprinkler for the lawn. The trees will look young for the first few years, but that is also beautiful.
