Coolidge Reservation is a nature reserve located in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. The property is owned by The Trustees of Reservations.
The reservation is located on Coolidge Point, a peninsula once owned by—and named for—the Coolidge family. The reservation property includes the former site of the Coolidge's "Marble Palace", a Georgian-style mansion designed in 1902 by Charles McKim for T. Jefferson Coolidge, who was a great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. [1] Although the mansion was demolished in 1958, [2] the home's grounds are preserved as the "Ocean Lawn". [3]
42 acres of land was donated to The Trustees by the Coolidge family in 1990 and 1991. [1] The reservation was established in 1992. [3]
