The Shirley-Eustis House is a Georgian and Federal style mansion built in 1747 for Royal Colonial Governor William Shirley. During the Revolution, the house was used as a hospital and barracks.

Today, the Shirley-Eustis House is a museum with historical exhibits about the occupants and period furnishings.
