Meet Comet, the baby goat at Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm
Something exciting happened this week at Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, Massachusetts. At 7:55 a.m. on March 15, we welcomed a new baby goat named Comet into the world!
See photos of Comet and her mom, Halley, and watch a livestream of the goat shed at the farm.
Share our online curriculum with young learners
If you have children home from school for the foreseeable future, explore our Family Ties Online Curriculum. These fun and educational activities use primary sources from the Historic New England collection and are divided into five sections: All About Me, Family Stories, House and Home, Faces, and Family Treasures.
Explore a historic house online
If you haven't been to the Eustis Estate in Milton, Massachusetts, or you've been meaning to visit again, you can do it from your computer or mobile device. Explore the elaborate Aesthetic Movement interiors of the 1878 mansion, and tour its Blue Hills-adjacent landscape, on the Eustis Estate app.
If you are a fan of Modernism, the Gropius House web app is a treasure trove of photographs, videos, guestbooks, birthday cards, and more that illustrate the life of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius and his family. We launched the app last year in honor of the Bauhaus centennial.
Thank you for being a part of the Historic New England community. Please consider supporting our mission so that we can continue to save and share New England's past through the projects above and many others.
