Iconic and Unique
Built circa 1699 for the Honorable Isaac Winslow on land granted to his Grandfather, Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow, the Winslow House is one of the least-altered houses still standing in the former Plymouth Colony.

OCTOBER SPECIAL EVENTS
Colonial Tavern Night ~ Friday, October 13 ~ 7pm
It is spring of 1775 and news of "the shot heard 'round the world" is spreading like fire from a musket. The citizens of Marshfield have gathered at the local tavern to read the broadsheets and voice their opinions. Discord ensues. Loyalist, Joshua Winslow bursts through the door proclaiming, "treason at Lexington and Concord!" Patriots counter with chants of "liberty!"
Come hear the debate...and choose where your loyalties lie.
Join us for this theatrical interpretation, as well as live music, tavern-style games and food. Ales, hard cider & mulled wine will be served at our cash bar. The lower floor of the historic house will be open and lit by candles. We will also be selling raffle tickets for $1 for a chance to win a a surprise gift! All proceeds from this event go directly to the maintenance and preservation of The Historic Winslow House, Marshfield's most treasured historical icon.

Join us for this lovely annual tradition. The evening will begin with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the historic house followed by a traditional turkey buffet in the 1920s Tea Room. Winslow House Association President will welcome our guests and we will hear Edward Winslow's words describing the first harvest feast.
We are asking folks to be prepared to travel back in time to the year 1923. On this night we will honor the Winslow Associates, especially the three men who saved the Winslow House from ruin. We will provide trivia of the people, places and events from 100 years ago in Marshfield and beyond. What was happening in the world during the time these three men decided to take it upon themselves to preserve a priceless historic treasure...
Enjoy the conversations.
