July 15, 2025, 1:00-2:30 pm (Falmouth, Massachusetts): Join us at Highfield Hall & Gardens for a special walk and talk. Highfield Hall & Gardens will collaborate with The 300 Committee Land Trust for a Walk in the Woods! The program will begin with a short history about the Stick Style Queen Anne house, the Beebe family who built it, and their relationship with the woods that bear their name. Walk leaders from The 300 Committee will then lead a one-hour ramble in Beebe woods (about a mile and a half). An easy walk, it includes part of the old carriage road that the Beebe Family enjoyed. Finally, the program will conclude on the Highfield porch for a refreshment. The 300 Committee (T3C) is a community-supported, non-profit land trust dedicated to protecting and preserving natural lands for the citizens of Falmouth, MA. Working with other conservation groups, the town, and the public, T3C safeguards water and other natural resources, provides public green spaces, connects people with nature, and preserves Falmouth’s unique character and beauty. This walk is rain or shine. A second walk will be offered on August 12th at 1 pm. This is a free event, but pre-registration is required as space is limited. Admission to the house is not included.

About Highfield Hall & Gardens The house is a rare surviving example of transitional Stick Style architecture, containing beautiful gardens located in the heart of Falmouth, Massachusetts.
