The Myopia Driving Club’s 2025 Carriage Classic is held at the historic Spencer–Peirce–Little Farm.

A National Historic Landmark, the farmhouse is a rare example of a 17th century stone house in New England. The farmhouse dates back to 1690 and was constructed using locally-sourced stones—an unusual choice, given that most New England homes during this time were built from timber.

Participants and spectators can enjoy the beautiful grounds, manor house, and Visitor’s Center, and younger spectators may particularly enjoy the farm animals.
