  • Description

    Step into early American history at the 1640 Hart House, one of the oldest surviving homes in the country and a standout example of Colonial architecture. Built just twenty years after the Pilgrims’ arrival, the home originally served as the residence of Thomas Hart, a local tanner and Ipswich’s first selectman. Now transformed into a restaurant and tavern, the building retains its historic charm, featuring five distinct levels, original post-and-beam construction, centuries-old fireplaces, and wall panels adorned with hand-painted Colonial tea boxes. It’s a living tribute to New England’s architectural heritage. The dining experience at 1640 Hart House blends this rich history with warm hospitality and refined cuisine. The menu highlights classic New England American fare—fresh seafood, seasonal risottos, premium steaks, and traditional favorites like lobster rolls, clam chowder, and Yankee pot roast. The tavern offers a relaxed, rustic setting with a thoughtful selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or simply to enjoy a memorable meal in a storied setting, 1640 Hart House delivers timeless ambiance, exceptional food, and a uniquely Ipswich experience.
