Towards the end of last week, my mother and I decided to head to North Andover to check out a Trustees site that we'd never visited before: Stevens-Coolidge Place. Although the farmhouse was closed to visitors, the gardens were open and beautiful! There were a few small gardens, each with a different feel to it. As an added bonus, there were hardly any other visitors, so we could wander around in peace. Driving through downtown North Andover, we happened across the tiny but interesting Museum of Printing, so we made a quick visit there and got to see some really neat old printing equipment. On the way out, we decided to head to another nearby Trustees site that we'd never visited before, Weir Hill. There are several miles of trails there, but we just hiked up to the scenic overlook and enjoyed the view from there. Although North Andover isn't that far away from us, we'd never spent any time there before, and we were pleasantly surprised by how cute the town was!
