Our festive holiday wreaths line our long driveway, oversized wreaths adorn our historic windows and doors, and white Christmas lights on outdoor and courtyard trees. Greenery and neutral decorations fill the banisters, mantles and shelves in the house so you won’t have to spend your precious time and money on decorations!
Prom & Formal
As a historic 1902 Arts and Crafts style mansion surrounded by the Bradley Palmer State Park and built on the banks of the Ipswich River, Willowdale Estate has been producing and hosting stunning proms and formal events since 2007.
Celebration of life & Memorials
Willowdale offers serene and historical reception spaces for memorials, celebration of life and bereavement events. Built in 1902 as a pastoral summer retreat, our lovingly restored fieldstone mansion combines classical elegance with inviting warmth.
