Shepherd Brooks Estate

The Shepherd Brooks Estate is a historic 82-acre property located in Medford, Massachusetts, featuring a grand manor house built in 1880. This estate, designed by Peabody and Stearns in a distinctive Queen Anne style, is the only major 19th-century estate in the area that remains relatively undeveloped. Open to the public daily, visitors can explore the scenic grounds and take guided tours of the manor during the summer months. The estate has a rich history, having served various purposes over the years, including housing for veterans and a nursing home. It was preserved through community efforts and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
