The Ipswich Visitor Center, located in the 1820 Hall-Haskell House sits at the heart of our town on the Center Green, in one of several national historic districts in town. The Hall Haskell House operates spring through fall as an art gallery and welcome center, providing an abundance of maps and brochures, and a self-guided audio tour. The Ipswich Visitor Center is staffed entirely by friendly and well-informed volunteers.

The Ipswich Visitor Center is a wonderful source of information for newcomers, and a destination for people seeking genealogical information and looking for the homes or gravesites of their ancestors.

Walking tours of historic Ipswich are led by the Town Historian throughout the warmer months, starting from the Ipswich Visitor Center and at Meeting House Green.
