Spanning 14 acres of idyllic lawns and woodlands, the Daniel Webster Estate boasts the historic home once inhabited by the renowned American statesman, Daniel Webster. A haven for generations of families and a former summer camp for local children, this cherished site was safeguarded from redevelopment and acquired by the Town of Marshfield in 1996. Undergoing extensive restoration, it emerged as the Pilgrim Hall Museum’s 2005 Designer Show House, heralding a new chapter in its storied legacy.
Today, overseen by the Daniel Webster Preservation Trust, the estate welcomes various gatherings, from weddings to corporate events, amidst its timeless surroundings. A comittee within the board, 238 Webster Gatherings, also hosts a number of events throughout the year aimed at generating funds to sustain the upkeep of the Daniel Webster Estate andHeritage Center.
