Caryl House is a historic estate located in Dover, Massachusetts, dating back to the early 18th century. The original structure was built in 1710 by Captain Timothy Jones, a wealthy merchant, and was later owned by the Caryl family.

The property also features walking trails and gardens, which are open to the public.
