Built as a Summer home in 1900 by Colonel Clarence S. Wadsworth, this stately mansion has a classic design with a rich history. The 103 acres of this estate are spacious, yet feel private and intimate. An estate wedding here is nothing short of magical. 

Eolia Mansion

Lush gardens, sweeping lawns, and idyllic seaside views, are just three reasons why so many love Eolia Mansion. The mansion was built in 1906 in a grand Italian style.
