COMING FROM BOSTON?
MBTA Riders: Hop aboard the Greenbush Line and choose one of three convenient midday trains (10:00 AM–2:00 PM), Tuesday through Saturday, to West Hingham Station. We will meet you at the station and whisk you into the heart of town. Enjoy a guided tour of Hingham’s historic streets, or be delivered directly to one of our signature sites: the Old Ordinary, the Benjamin Lincoln House, or the Hingham Heritage Museum. All locations are within easy walking distance of one another and just steps from Hingham’s charming downtown, where visitors can shop, dine, and explore at their own pace.

Reservations are required so we can coordinate your pickup at West Hingham Station and ensure a smooth, personalized visit.
