Learn More About Ipswich, MA
Known as “America’s best-preserved Puritan Town”, Ipswich, MA, is a charming coastal town known for its historic roots and scenic ocean views. Founded in 1634, the town has been influential in many key eras of American history, from the Revolutionary War to the Industrial Revolution, much of which has been preserved in Ipswich’s architecture.
While just 35 miles North of Boston, Ipswich feels like a return to a simpler time and a slower lifestyle, making it a popular residential area and tourist destination. One of the town’s top attractions is Crane Breach. Spanning 1,234 acres (roughly 4.5% of Ipswich’s total area), it draws residents and visitors throughout the summer months, complemented by the town’s well-known clam industry and annual Chowderfest.
Ipswich is the epitome of New England charm and history, from its preserved colonial architecture to a thriving coastal tourism industry.
