Castle Hill on the Crane Estate ✨
When I had some family in town recently and we spent time on the North Shore, this was at the top of my list of places to bring them. It’s one of my favorite places in New England. From the sweeping Grand Allée to the Italian Garden and ocean views from Castle Hill, every corner is absolutely stunning.
Castle Hill sits on land originally stewarded by Indigenous peoples known as Agawam, meaning "place beyond the marsh." In 1910, industrialist Richard Teller Crane Jr. and his wife Florence transformed the property into one of America's grandest European-inspired summer estates, complete with a mansion, formal gardens, a working farm, and sweeping coastal landscapes.
Another fun fact: Castle Hill on the Crane Estate was used as a stand-in for Paris in Greta Gerwig's Little Women. Amy's art studio, the Italian Garden, and several scenes between Amy and Laurie were all filmed here, while nearby Crane Beach also appears in the movie.

*Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind* is an American romantic science fiction film released in 2004. The screenplay was written by Charlie Kaufman, and the film was directed by Michel Gondry.
