Visit the Clough House
One of Boston’s oldest surviving brick residences, the 1715 Clough House is home to Heritage Goods + Gifts and is the future home of Unearthing Childhood. Learn more about our unique gift shop and our upcoming archaeology exhibit below.
The Clough House is located on Old North Church’s campus at 21 Unity St, Boston, MA 02113.
Heritage Goods + Gifts
Heritage Goods + Gifts is a unique retail space that draws on the Clough House’s origin as a family home, where skilled work and creativity transform shelter into sanctuary and make the functional beautiful. The shop will offer books, games, and toys for children that take inspiration from Unearthing Childhood, the new child-focused history exhibit in the Clough House. In addition, you will find beautiful items inspired by Old North’s 18th Century Garden and exclusive Freedom Trail merchandise.
Coming Soon: Unearthing Childhood Archaeology Exhibit
We’re excited to share that a new family-friendly archaeology exhibit is coming to Old North Church’s campus in 2025! Unearthing Childhood will explore the lives of real children of diverse backgrounds who lived in Boston’s North End in the 18th and 19th centuries through archaeological artifacts on loan from the City of Boston. Located in the Clough House behind Old North, the free exhibit will be perfect for families with children.
The exhibit will be presented in partnership with the City of Boston Archaeology Department and made possible with support from Mass Humanities, the Cabot Family Charitable Trust, and an anonymous funder.
