We had the chance to tour this Mansion and it was absolutely incredible. Mr. Crosby loved his home but his wife wanted something more elaborate so a beautiful mansion was built around his home which then turned out to be his man cave. There are beautiful views from the second floor, gorgeous rooms, amazing furniture and the guides were very... More

Formerly a private house and a beautiful Victorian mansion. It is open every other Sunday for tours. Don't miss it. Located by the scenic Crosby Beach. They are putting in bathrooms soon so that they can have larger functions. Walk around it; it's beautiful

The historical society put a lot of work into this and was able to bring it back to the beautiful house it once was. It was a treat to walk through and see all what the house looked like and to learn the history of it.

This is a special place that the town of Brewster as well as the State Of Mass have made some grant Money to fix up and the local people have done a great job in fixing it up.

On a trip to Cape Cod driving through Brewster I came across a hidden treasure. Out of curiosity we drove down Crosby Lane off Rt 6A across from Nickerson State Park and discovered the Crosby Mansion. Knowing that it was not my ancestral home, but sharing the same name, and as a lover of history, I wanted to see more... More

The Crosby Mansion is beautiful! As you walk up the path from the parking lot, your jaw drops as you see a beautiful yellow Victorian mansion. I've been coming to this mansion since I was a little child, and I love the place. The tour guides are extremely informative and tell you great little facts about the Crosby family. The... More

I have watched the Crosby Mansion slowly evolve over the years. There are no emplyees only devoted volunteers trying to save a bit of history that was going to be torn down by the state? (or maybe national park service?) It is only opened every other Sunday in the months of July and August. So if you are lucky for... More

Ah, visiting the Crosby Mansion on a hot summer's day: My mother and I arrived, saw no signage as to how/where to enter, so we walked across an expanse of grass to the entrance to wait for my sister. But then I had to pee. I asked an employee where the restrooms were. He said there were no restrooms (!).... More
