The Whipple House Museum is a historic house museum located in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Built in 1677, it is one of the oldest surviving houses in Ipswich and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was built by John Whipple, one of the first settlers of Ipswich, and was passed down through his family for generations. The house is a two-story timber-framed structure with a lean-to kitchen wing, and is an excellent example of the early colonial style of architecture.

The museum offers visitors a chance to step back in time and experience life in a colonial home. An extensive collection of artifacts, including furniture, tools, and clothing from the time period, are displayed throughout the house. Guided tours of the house are available, which provide an in-depth look at the history of the Whipple family and the Ipswich community. The museum also offers educational programs and special events throughout the year.

Outside of the house, visitors can explore the grounds of the museum. The property includes a large garden, which features a variety of plants and flowers typical of the colonial era. There is also a beautiful view of the Ipswich River from the backyard.

The Whipple House Museum offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of Ipswich and gain a better understanding of the colonial lifestyle. It is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about the past.
