A Grand Day Out
Some adventures sparkle not because they’re far away, but because they’re filled with history, beauty, and a touch of magic. For Mrs. Wattles, one such adventure began with a simple library card, a borrowed pass, and a bright morning in New England. Thanks to the Historic New England pass from the Westwood Public Library, she set off to explore the elegant and storied Lyman Estate, and it quickly became one of her favorite discoveries so far.
