Boston Lighthouse under restoration (Due to planned construction on Little Brewster Island there will be no tours of Boston Light during the 2014 season. In preperation for the 300th Anniversary of Boston Light in 2016 major rehabilitation work is planned. The nature of this construction work will make it impossible to ensure visitor safety and a positive tour experience this summer. This work will insure that the Lighthouse and Little Brewster Island in general are ready for the Tri-Centenial and are preserved for future generations.)

"The Oaks"- Now the Roy Estate, Cohasset Harbor (For decades, "The Oaks" was the oceanside playground of the Barrons and the Bancrofts, heirs to the Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal fortunes. In 2010, the 20,000-square-foot mansion with 45 rooms and surrounding properties went on sale with an asking price of $55 million. For more than a century and a half, only three families have called the 9.4-acre property home. The first was Lawrence Barrett, a 19th-century actor who played Othello opposite Edwin Booth's Iago and served as a captain in the Civil War.The second owner was Clarence Barron, a Bostonian who purchased Dow Jones & Co. for $130,000 in 1902 and is credited with transforming The Wall Street Journal into the financial journalism powerhouse it has remained through present-day. He later founded Barron's magazine and was its first editor. Barron's stepdaughter married into another prominent Boston family, the Bancrofts who led Dow Jones from the 1920s until 2007 when Rupert Murdoch took it over.)

Lawson Tower (Lawson Tower is a historic tower built in the style of a European castle turret. It is located off First Parish Road in Scituate Center, Massachusetts. Standing 153 feet tall with 123 steps to the top the tower was built in 1902 by multi-millionaire Boston businessman Thomas W. Lawson to cloak a 276,000-gallon water tank across from his "Dreamwold" estate, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Lawson commissioned the Meneely Bell Foundry of West Troy, New York, to install ten bells at the top of the tower. These bells range in size from three hundred to three thousand pounds. This chime system was originally designed to be played either from the bell room eighty feet above the ground or on the console of the clavier room.The Scituate Water Co. stopped using the tank inside in 1988. The tower is listed as both an American Water Landmark and to the National Register of Historic Places. It has become a popular touring site, featuring sweeping views of the South Shore.)
