Tour the Otis House

Explore over 200 years of history at the foot of Boston’s iconic Beacon Hill neighborhood! Situated at 141 Cambridge Street, nestled beside the historic Old West Church, you’ll find the last surviving mansion in Bowdoin Square, the most luxurious neighborhood before Beacon Hill was constructed. This house was designed by Charles Bulfinch for the man who would become the 3rd mayor of Boston – Harrison “Harry” Gray Otis. Join us for guided tours every Friday through Sunday to learn about the rich lives of one of Boston’s wealthiest families in the Federal era. Discover how use of the home changed through the centuries and learn about the restoration this National Historic Landmark has undergone. Join our knowledgeable guides for an enlightening and entertaining tour of this beautiful mansion! Please note that the tours run approximately 45 minutes and involve standing, walking, and stairs. Chairs are stationed throughout the house, which is not air conditioned, but hand fans are available for free. Tours of only the first floor are available upon request.  Hours: 	April and May, Saturdays Only: 11am – 2pm 	June through October Friday – Sunday: 11am – 4pm 	Tours on the hour 	Closed July 04 Admission Costs:            Adults: $15 	Students and Seniors: $13 	Youth (ages 6-12): $7 	EBT or SNAP (up to 4 tickets): $2 	Children (ages 0-5), HNE Members, and Boston Residents: Free
