In the historic heart of New England, USA, the Harris Farm in Marblehead, Massachusetts, has many nearby hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs for you to book through Culture Trip.

The Harris Farm, a very rare piece of architecture in Marblehead, Massachusetts, dates to the late First Period. Built in 1670, it has just one room on each floor, and despite many adaptations has retained its allure as one of the oldest buildings in the US. There are great hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs available in Marblehead and neighboring Salem, both towns full of New England maritime history and character.
