Perched above picturesque Scituate Harbor on Boston's South Shore, Barker House combines 17th-century authenticity with waterfront elegance. Dating back to 1634, this remarkable estate claims to be the oldest English-style house in the United States, where heavy timber beams and strong wooden walls once served as a garrison in 1676. Today, traditional shiplap exteriors and timeworn red brick interiors create an atmosphere of maritime history, while customizable all-inclusive packages ensure your celebration honors both past and present.
