Candlelight Tours of Old Ordinary (Hingham)

November 9 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Guests will be able to learn about the hardships and simple pleasures of a New England winter in colonial days. The Old Ordinary dates back to the 17th Century, and has served as both a private home and a stopping place for travelers between Boston and Plymouth. The Candlelight Tours focus on what life was like for early New England families during long, cold, dark New England winters.

These fun 45-minute tours by battery candles address heat, lighting, domestic chores, and family life in an environment very different from what we enjoy today. Tours end with an appropriate snack.

Please be aware that there are stairs to climb, dim lighting and some slanted flooring. There are no physical tickets for the tours. Names will be on a list at check-in and your online confirmation is your receipt.

Choose Tours at 6:30PM, 7:00PM, or 7:30PM. Reserve Here.
