Old Ship Church
107 Main St, Hingham, MA 02043-2597
Built in 1681, Old Ship served two purposes: as a Meeting House where civic issues of the day were discussed, and as a place of worship on Sundays. Lively debates over the Revolution, the form American Democracy would take, and local issues such as property taxes, have taken place under its distinctive timber roof. Architecturally, the Meeting House is an example of Elizabethan Gothic style found in the early settlers native Hingham, England. The great curved timbers that support the roof were cut from bowed oak limbs grown in local forest. Axe hewn, no two are exactly alike in dimension. Although it’s still a mystery, the name Old Ship may have been inspired by the unusual roof structure, which resembles the hull of a ship. We love giving tours, but we need 2 days notice to find a volunteer tour guide.

The Old Ordinary - A House Museum of the Hingham Historical Society
21 Lincoln St, Hingham, MA 02043-4631
The Old Ordinary is a remarkable example of early American architectural and cultural history, built on the main road from Boston for stagecoach travelers to stop "for an ordinary meal," a drink in the taproom and sometimes a bed for the night. A home and family business, the Ordinary served local travelers for over 150 years - a meeting place to exchange news, celebrate events, see friends and sample the latest batch of cider. Compromised of the original 1686 structure as well as additions dating from the 1750s and 1800s, the Old Ordinary's rooms are a treasure trove of times gone by. The property also includes the Olmsted Garden (1906,) the Old Fort (1685) and the Arts and Crafts Annex (1901.) A SEASONAL ATTRACTION. Due to planned restoration work, tours summer 2021 are by appointment only. Virtual tours are also available. Special events are planned for fall, including special Candlelight Tours in November. Email for tours and info. A small donation is charged.
