Royall House Tours Opening Day

Saturday, June 8 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free – $15

The Royall House & Slave Quarters reopens today for its 2024 tour season. The museum will offer guided tours at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday through October 20.  Admission for guided tours of the mansion is $15 for adults, and $10 for seniors and students. Admission is always free for Royall House & Slave Quarters members, and free for children age 12 and under, EBT or WIC cardholders, Blue Star Families, and Massachusetts Teachers Association members and retirees. Admission to the Slave Quarters, which also houses the archaeological exhibit, gift shop, and restrooms, is free of charge. No reservations are required for groups of fewer than 10 people. Groups of 10 or more are considered group tours and must have a reservation. Visit the Group Tours page on the RHSQ website for group rates and scheduling.

In the eighteenth century, the Royall House & Slave Quarters was home to the largest slaveholding family in Massachusetts and the enslaved Africans who made their lavish way of life possible. Today, the Royall House & Slave Quarters is a museum whose architecture, household items, archaeological artifacts, and programs bear witness to intertwined stories of wealth and bondage, set against the backdrop of America’s quest for independence. The Slave Quarters is the only remaining such structure in the northern United States, and the Royall House is among the finest colonial-era buildings in New England.
