The perfect union of colonial revival form and the Golden Age of American gardens combine to exemplify historic North Shore living. s e c t i o n The Mansion at Glen Magna enjoys a long Peabody-Endicott family history dating back to 1812. Important to all who dwelled at the 11-acre estate were the gardens, and they remain an integral part of the property today. Formal elements like the reconstructed gazebo, wisteria-draped pergola, formidable veranda, and beloved heirloom rose garden lend a time-honored elegance to the site. Statuaries, fountains, rolling lawns, and bloom-vibrant vistas turn the estate into a horticultural wonderland. The mansion accommodates 50-125 guests inside, though events over 125 and up to 200 require tenting. To plan menus, Glen Magna gives couples a list of trusted caterers. For the unification of families and making of eternal memories, there���s but one choice: the historic treasure that is Glen Magna Farms.
