Hingham Day

To celebrating opening day for OSV’s exhibit Bucket Town: Four Centuries of Toymaking and Coopering in Hingham (June 21, 2014-January 18, 2015), each adult guest with an ID showing Hingham residence will receive a reduced admission rate of $5 today. Each Hingham resident can bring up to 4 people into the museum at the discounted rate of $5/per person. The exhibit centers on the recently re-discovered Hersey Farm workshop, covered with vines and untouched for the last hundred years. Entering this time capsule, one is met with handcrafted toys, personal artifacts, and tools left as if the artisan had just stepped away from his workbench. This exhibit will highlight the workshop’s rich contents and an abundance of Hingham’s handcrafted toys and woodenware.
