Hingham

Hingham stretches along Hingham Harbor on Massachusetts Bay in eastern Massachusetts, and its sheltered waterfront has shaped the town’s maritime identity since the colonial era. Settled in 1633, it preserves a notably intact historic center around Main Street, where the Old Ship Church, built in 1681, is recognized as the oldest church building in the United States in continuous ecclesiastical use. The harbor faces the islands and channels of Boston Harbor, while the nearby World’s End peninsula provides coastal paths across former farmland. Hingham also built vessels during the Second World War at its shipyard. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Hingham and Massachusetts Bay.
