Congratulations
to you both on your engagement! Planning for your
upcoming Wedding is now underway and we know the importance
of finding just the right location for your Reception
to create the day you have always dreamed of. Your
choice will often help you to "set the tone"
for many of your wedding details. The Daniel Webster
Estate is a Queen Anne-style Mansion set on fourteen
acres of rolling lawns. Our stained-glass windows,
fireplaces, mantles and dramatic grand staircase tell
of a turn-of-the-century elegance and our state-of-the-art
kitchen and service area, air-conditioned rooms and
light and airy interiors tell of our desire to give
our Brides and Guests a relaxed and comfortable setting
for a most memorable day.
Our
lovely wrap-around veranda hints of days-gone-by.
Two ponds, antique Linden trees and a peaceful, secluded
setting create a graceful backdrop for a beautiful
event. This historic Mansion was recently home to
the Pilgrim Hall Museum's 2005 Designer Show House
and weddings and corporate events followed to begin
the next chapter for this gracious country estate.
The
Daniel Webster Estate has a rich history as home of
a great orator, statesman and one of the most influential
men in America.
Along
with his illustrious career in Washington, D.C., Webster
found peace and tranquility at his country Estate,
which he named "Green Harbor", where he
farmed, bred and raised cattle and llamas and planted
orchards and thousands of trees. After his death,
the original house burned to the ground in 1878. His
daughter-in-law, Caroline White Webster enlisted the
help of William Gibbons Preston, a prestigious architect
from Boston, to build an elegant Queen Anne-style
mansion on the original foundation. Under her direction,
many elements and details from the original Webster
house were incorporated as a tribute to her famous
father-in-law. The house was completed in 1880 and
is now owned by the town of Marshfield and is under
the direction of the Daniel Webster Preservation Trust.
