The Patton Family in New England Tour chronicles the life and legacy of one of America’s premier military families who resided here on Boston’s North Shore. On the tour, you will see four rooms within the Patton Homestead that are filled with military memorabilia, family heirlooms, photography, books, and papers that comprise a collection known as the Patton Family Archives.
