The Herb Lyceum is the venue for the ceremony and the reception. It can be a little tough to locate so we wanted to make sure you have the address. (If you take the shuttle from the Groton Inn... no worries! No thinking involved!)
If traveling from the east along Route 119, which most of you will be, the Herb Lyceum is on the right side of the street. It has a small sign, slightly shrouded by vines. The driveway is located directly across the street from the sign for the First Baptist Church of Groton. If you cross the Nashua River, you have definitely gone too far.
If you are traveling from the west, you definitely will not see the sign for the Herb Lyceum (on your left), but you may catch the sign for the church on your right side.
We will likely have an additional sign on the streetside in an attempt to get your attention.
The Groton Inn is just 2 minutes/1 mile/1.6 kilometers from the Herb Lyceum and a beautiful hotel. Forge & Vine - a favorite of ours - is also the fabulous restaurant located just behind the Inn and operated by the same management. Located in quaint Groton Center there are a few shops & eateries that are walkable from here.
We anticipate having a shuttle from here to the Herb Lyceum for guests for the wedding. More to come on that note as we get closer...
There is a discounted rate for Thursday, June 27th & Friday, June 28th. Guests are welcome to make their reservations by calling the Inn at 978-448-6600 and asking for a room in the Desilets-Mitchell Wedding Room Block".

This is a newly renovated farmhouse on the property of the Herb Lyceum with 4 acres of herb gardens, greenhouses, and flowering trees.
With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, Birch and Stone sleeps 8+ and looks amazing! But if your group stays here, no spoiling the event by peeking around corners!
