We welcome your interest in the Daniel Webster Estate and hope that you will find this unique setting as charming and exciting as we do. 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.
