About Misselwood

Few campuses offer Endicott's variety and comfort in terms of location and available space. Consider what Misselwood Events has to offer:

• Our award-winning Misselwood Estate is the perfect venue for weddings, corporate events, or social meetings and gatherings. It also hosts the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance–an annual classic automobile and motorcycle show. During summer months, we accommodate both overnight programs and day meetings—from large corporate on-site affairs to academic/youth leadership programs and athletic camps.
• Our enviable athletic facilities include Hempstead Stadium, which is equipped with FieldTurf and seating for 3,000 spectators, as well as Raymond J. Bourque Arena, MacDonald Gymnasium, softball and baseball fields, and so much more.

Patrick Tracy Jackson bought the land in 1845 for $1800 and built a cottage on the 10 acres of land. He died in 1847 leaving the land to his wife Lydia, who in 1882 sold it to Joseph Sebastian Cabot of Salem.

The cottage was enlarged by the architectural firm, Peabody and Stearns. Susan B. Cabot inherited the property called Misselwood in 1874. When Susan B. Cabot died in 1907, Misselwood was left to J. Cabot’s great-nephew.

In 1926, Rodolphe Louis (RL or Dolph) and his wife Maria purchased the property and demolished ‘Misselwood’, building ‘Bon Jour’ in its place. RL died in 1933 and Maria Agassiz inherited the property in 1934.

Cornelius Conway Felton Jr. inherited the property from his grandmother Maria Agassiz in 1942. Endicott College purchased it as Misselwood in 2003. Ever since, the property has been home to Misselwood Events and La Chanterelle, Endicott’s non-traditional classroom. Prior to this, La Chanterelle classes were held in Tupper Manor, just down the street.

Misselwood Events creates memorable experiences by providing world-class hospitality to all of our guests. 

As a resource to Endicott College, we are committed to supporting excellence through our professional expertise in event management.

"The event site is highly recommended due to its convenient and easily accessible location, excellent food offerings, and reliable technology that functioned smoothly throughout the event. In addition, the event planner was exceptional—highly organized, responsive, and easy to work with—which greatly contributed to a well-coordinated and successful event."

"We were OBSESSED with Misselwood from the moment we saw the photos online. Our wedding day was even better than we ever could have imagined! We loved working with Ashley and Gary (the caterer) to make our wedding exactly we wanted- they executed all of our personal perfectly! From the views to the food to the espresso martini bar, not a single beat is missed at Misselwood!"
