Same buildings for the most part, just obscured by trees in the new photo. If you want to imagine anywhere in New England 100 - ~400 years ago, just take away all of the trees.
It's different than the intentional landscaping we see here, but most of Massachusetts was once a relatively treeless landscape of rolling farmland reminiscent of the English country side.
