The 100th Hingham Historic House Tour
Hingham is known for its beautiful historic homes, charming streets, and deep connection to New England history and this weekend, the community will have a special opportunity to experience it all during the 100th Hingham Historic House Tour.
Hosted by the Hingham Historical Society, the milestone event will take place on Sunday, September 27, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine. This year’s tour offers visitors the chance to step inside historic properties throughout town while learning more about the architecture, stories, and people that have shaped Hingham over the years.
The tour begins at the Hingham Heritage Museum at 34 Main Street, where guests can pick up their tour materials, including a property map, list of locations, and parking information.
What to Expect
The tour includes a mix of private homes and historic public buildings, offering a look at several centuries of Hingham architecture. In addition to the properties on the tour, guests can visit Hingham Historical Society museums and explore a special exhibition celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
One of the unique highlights this year is the opportunity to see the toolroom at the historic Old Ordinary, featuring hundreds of tools dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
And after exploring the tour, visitors can stop by the Tea Room at the Hingham Heritage Museum for complimentary refreshments.
A Special Year for Hingham History
Reaching its 100th tour makes this year’s event especially meaningful for the Hingham community. It is a chance to not only admire some of the town’s historic properties, but also to celebrate the preservation efforts that have helped keep Hingham’s history alive for generations.
I’ll be volunteering at this year’s Historic House Tour, so I’m especially excited to be part of such a special Hingham tradition. Whether you’ve lived in Hingham for years or are simply looking for a fun way to spend a fall Sunday exploring the South Shore, this is a great opportunity to see a different side of town.
