While visiting the Hancock house we were treated with a celebration of 12th night and a reenactment of the Greenwich Tea Party, this of course is the forgotten cousin to the Boston Tea Party. There was cider, cookies, cakes, music and a campfire outside, where loyal Patriots coould toss in small containers of tea while denouncing British rule. "No taxation without representation"

It was absolutely outstanding!!!

Did not get to go inside and tour but walked the grounds instead. A beautiful home with history. A disgrace that the State does not maintain the home and the out building properly. An exterminator to get rid of the carpenter bees, a little paint, pressure wash the stone plaque, replace the sign with the houses history (so you can actually read it) and mow the yard will go a long way.

The William and Sarah Hancock House, built in 1734, is a beautiful example of a well-preserved 18th century, patterned brick-built home. The structure is also the site of the March 1778 "Massacre at Hancock’s Bridge," in which British Loyalists and Hessian mercenary forces ambushed and killed at least 20 members of the Salem militia.

Very interesting place. The guide did an exceptional job. If you like history, this is a must visit

A place where history froze. The wonderful caretaker of the house gladly told us its history. The tragic events of those times passed before my eyes. I recommend visiting this place.
