Supported by more than 100,000 members, donors, and thousands of volunteers, The Trustees own and manage 112 spectacular reservations – 20 of which are located on Boston’s North Shore – including working farms, historic homesteads and gardens, community parks, barrier beaches and mountain vistas – located on more than 26,000 acres.

The Crane Estate, a property of The Trustees of Reservations, is a National Historic Landmark that encompasses more than 2,100 preserved acres that include: The Great House and The Inn at Castle Hill, Crane Beach, and the Crane Wildlife Refuge. More than 250,000 people visit The Crane Estate each year to experience the unrivaled beauty, swim at the world-famous beach, paddle its breathtaking waters and surrounding marshes, and enjoy its historic Great House, the Inn, surrounding trails, and rolling lawns.
Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane, Jr. first purchased the 2,100 acres that would become the Crane Estate in 1910. Crane was captivated by the beautiful landscape, and over time worked with eight leading architects and landscape architects to shape his summer retreat. In 1928, he crowned the estate with the Great House, a grand 59-room, Stuart-style mansion, designed by the world- renowned David Adler. More than 100 years later, The Crane Estate plays a vital role in the local community and beyond as a place for year-round recreation, historic house tours, weddings, corporate and private parties, art shows, summer concerts, lectures, movie filming, summer camp and public volunteer opportunities.
