The 2021 season begins with a Guided Tour on Sunday afternoon, April 25th. For public safety, timed admissions and groups limited to no more than six, face masks, and 6 foot distancing. Advance registration and ticket sales only by clicking here. 

These one-hour tours are led by docents in period attire and include 11 rooms on the first and second floors. Learn about the fascinating history of Hearthside and its legendary beginnings as the result of a winning lottery ticket. “The House That Love Built” has welcomed several different families as its residents over the past 200 years until ownership passed to the Town of Lincoln in 1997. Over this time, Hearthside has been home to a candle and soap maker, a lawyer, a horse breeder, several farmers, a real estate developer, a merchant, a hand-weaving business, a coal and lumber dealer, a mill owner, a printer, and a publisher.

Timed admissions are in allotments every 20 minutes to allow for ample social distancing throughout the house with no more than 6 guests per slot.

Our Gift Shop is open at the conclusion of the tour. Proceeds help support the museum so we appreciate your purchase!
