The Stevens-Coolidge Place
The Stevens–Coolidge House and Gardens, formerly known as Ashdale Farm, is a garden and historic house located on 91 acres (37 ha) of land at 153 Chickering Road in North Andover, a town in Essex County, Massachusetts. Helen Stevens Coolidge's family first acquired the farm in 1729, and from 1914 to 1962 it served as a summer home that she shared with her husband John Gardner Coolidge, American diplomat and one time Minister to Nicaragua (as well as a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, and nephew of Isabella Stewart Gardner), and their family. The property and house is now a nonprofit museum operated by The Trustees of Reservations.
