“Winter here is starkly beautiful,” wrote the publication about the 251-acre park and conservation area on a peninsula, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and owned and operated by the Trustees of Reservations.
“If you’re looking for an uplifting alternative to slushy city sidewalks, a bucolic landscape where you can take a winter stroll or, if weather permits, snowshoe or cross-country ski then World’s End on Boston’s South Shore checks all the boxes,” wrote

Don’t miss the panoramic view from Planter’s Hill, the publication noted, writing, “This feels like a prize: Look northwest, past the Boston harbor and islands to the city’s signature skyline, or east, beyond the Weir River and chockablock beach houses of Nantasket to the ocean.”

Because of the overall success and demand for tickets, The Trustees will be extending Winterlights until mid-January with 3,000 additional tickets per location now on sale. That Winterlights is now recognized on a national level in addition to being so beloved locally is incredibly heartening for us as an organization, Trustees Chief of Places & Engagement Christine Morin wrote in a press release.

What do you get when you put 150,000 LED bulbs on 11 miles of string lights on a half-mile trail through Canton? Winterlights, of course.
The country home and gardens of the the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate are filled with twinkling lights, sparking displays and a little bit of magic for the second year in a row. Visitors wind their way through the formal garden, into the woods, through a tunnel of LED lights and back to the kitchen garden for a socially distant and COVID-approved holiday celebration. In a year where we have all had to rearrange and compromise, to be able to do this and have people is just Wow, Peter Bowne, engagement manager for The Trustees of Reservations, said.
