A Piece of History

The Gould Barn is a wonderful place to have a wedding, or celebration of any kind. The relocation, restoration, and modernization of this circa 1710 barn in the early 1990’s created the perfect rustic venue for gatherings of up to 95 people, complete with a full kitchen, 

restrooms, and all modern conveniences.

Rustic Charm

The afternoon sun warms the barn doors that look out over a wide lawn, ideal for games or seating. The Gould Barn is next to the antique Parson Capen House, and across from Topsfield Common, 

a quintessential New England landmark.
