Resistance to taxation without representation in 1687 earned Ipswich, Massachusetts, the title “Birthplace of American Independence.” The town boasts the nation’s largest collection of remaining 17th-century houses, and over half of its land is designated as open space, including beautiful Crane Beach. The Historic Ipswich website is a digital museum created by the town historian, with over 1,200 articles documenting the history, architecture, genealogy, maps, photographs, and historic buildings of Ipswich. The Historic Ipswich site is produced by the Ipswich town historian for the Ipswich Visitor Center.
