As the world gathers in Massachusetts, take time to discover one of the region’s most charming destinations – Historic Downtown Hingham.  The town’s historic retail center offers a perfect Saturday escape – stroll historic, tree-lined streets, browse locally-owned boutiques and galleries, enjoy coffee, lunch, or ice cream at welcoming cafes and pubs, and explore centuries of history in one of New England’s most beautiful coastal towns.

Located a short distance from Boston, Hingham is easily reachable by MBTA Ferry, MBTA Commuter Rail, and by car.

Hingham’s downtown has something to offer to everyone.  Build your visit around locally-crafted itineraries focused on family, arts and culture, and  shopping and dining.

History buffs can start with a visit at the Hingham Heritage Museum Visitor Center, to learn more of Hingham’s remarkable Revolutionary War-era past and plan the day.  Look for guided tours of the 17th century Old Ordinary, a 17th century tavern serving Boston stagecoach travelers; and the Benjamin Lincoln House, home of the American general who accepted the British surrender at Yorktown.
