Today, the Royall House & Slave Quarters is reopening for guided museum tours for the first time since it closed its doors in March 2020. To show gratitude for members’ unwavering support, the RHSQ has designated July “Members Only” Month. If you’re not currently a museum member, you can join online at royallhouse.org/join, or you can sign up to become a member on-site before a timed tour.

Guided tours will start on the hour at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Capacity will be limited to 12 people per tour and attendance is on a first come, first served basis.

Per recommendations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the RHSQ is encouraging visitors who have not yet completed their course of COVID-19 vaccinations to wear face coverings. Although masks are not required, anyone is welcome to wear a mask while on-site.

The Royall House & Slave Quarters plans to reopen to the general public on weekends in August and September.
