Town records indicate that one Thomas Hart was the first recorded citizen of Ipswich in 1637. The Hart House was built in 1640, portions of which are still standing, and was home to Ipswich’s first selectman. The house, one of the oldest in the country, remains one of the prime examples of early American architecture with an English college influence. The current tavern, built in the 1800’s, was the “only” place to go outside of New York or Boston for “ale and spirits”. So popular in fact that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and actor James Cagney were regulars. Not without its mysteries, witchcraft hit home when Thomas’s mother was accused of being a witch and removed to Boston where she was tried and released. The original “keepers room” of the house was dismantled and sold to a museum in New York, the reason never being fully explained. Still in operation today the Hart House Tavern remains a large symbol of Ipswich’s history.
