Each of the private homes featured on this year’s tour, as well as, the Benjamin Lincoln House, the Old Ordinary and Old Ship Meetinghouse were all built before 1775.
As a special tradition to the tour, stunning floral arrangements will be created by the Garden Club of Hingham to compliment the elegance of each home.
