Royall House & Slave Quarters Website »
Located on a beautifully landscaped acre, the Isaac Royall mansion, a National Historic Landmark, is one of the finest 18th century houses in New England, and the adjacent Slave Quarters is acknowledged to be the only remaining freestanding quarters in the northern states.
An exhibit of archaeological artifacts offers compelling material evidence of the intertwined lives of one of colonial America’s wealthiest families and those they enslaved. A new exhibit features a rare folk-art statue of Mercury, Roman god of commerce. Docent-led tours are offered on the hour.
