The Shirley-Eustis House is the only Royal Governor's residence still standing in Massachusetts, and one of the only in New England. Its story includes the enslavement of Africans in the Shirley household, use as a Revolutionary War hospital during the Siege of Boston, Federal Era governor's residence, and subdivision into tenement apartments for Irish immigrants in the Victorian period. Tours include a complete tour through the Mansion, taking you through time as you wander.
