The historic 1699 Isaac Winslow House in Marshfield is open for its 88th year of public visitation. This site, built by the grandson of original Pilgrim Edward Winslow and home to generations of Winslow ancestors, is an example of First Period and early Georgian architecture.

Virtually untouched by modernization, it features period furnishings (including a signed Edmund Titcomb chest) and documents, slave quarters,  an elegant early American stairway with acorn pendants and newels, and a period-style herb garden. 

The Daniel Webster Law Office is housed on location as well, and is also the location for a Blacksmith Shop, a restored 19th century Concord Coach, and Webster’s “Phaeton” carriage. There is also a Tea Room on location that is available for functions.
 
Among its residents were former governors, judges, militia and political leaders of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies; the military commander in charge of the removal of the Acadian farmers in Nova Scotia; a Loyalist doctor during the Revolutionary War; and servants in the employ of the family.

Later owned by former Senator & Secretary of State Daniel Webster, the House remains an example of how some well-to-do landed gentry, particularly those loyal to the King, lived in the years prior to the American Revolutionary War.

The Winslow House opens in mid-May and will be open through Columbus Day. Visiting hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. Admission is $3.00 for adults and for seniors and $1.00 for children.
