Ipswich Historical Society, Historical society and architectural complex in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
The Ipswich Historical Society maintains several historical structures, including the 1677 Whipple House and the 1795 Heard House for public viewing.
Founded in 1890 by Reverend Thomas Franklin Waters, the society initially held meetings in artist Arthur Wesley Dow's studio before acquiring permanent facilities.
The institution holds the largest collection of Arthur Wesley Dow artworks, featuring oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, and wood block prints.
Visitors can access self-guided audio tours through the PocketSights app, allowing exploration of the grounds and exhibits at their own pace.
The Heard House came to the society in 1936 through Alice Leeds Heard, who maintained residence rights until her death in 1953.
