Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens — Attraction in North Andover

This is a park. Why on earth are the Trustees charging admission? That is unethical. The outdoors are for everyone, and should be free, or at the very least affordable. What used to be a fun, welcoming park, frequented by families, children, and many people from urban communities who would come up in the evenings for a picnic dinner, has been turned into a place which "closes" at 6pm and doesn't open until 10 or 11 am.
