Hingham Ted Clarke

The South Shore town of Hingham, Massachusetts maintains its early village charm and entices visitors with its historic greens and scenic harbor. Landing in Bar Cove, the earliest settlers brought inspiration for their new home from its English namesake, and the young village prospered and grew into an influential coastal community. Discover the Old Ship Meetinghouse that is the oldest continually in operation, the story of President Abraham Lincoln's ancestor who facilitated the British surrender at Yorktown, and the teaming coastal waters that have drawn generations of fishermen. Ted Clarke, one of Boston's most prolific authors of local history, deftly chronicles four hundred years of Hingham's unique past.
