The Royall House and Slave Quarters Home Welcome to the Royall House and Slave Quarters The Royall House and Slave Quarters functions as a site of memory. In the eighteenth century the plantation was home to the Royalls the largest slaveholding family in Massachusetts and at least sixty enslaved women men and children whose forced labor helped build the Royall familys wealth. As one of the only remaining freestanding quarters where enslaved people lived and worked in the North the museum bears witness to their lives to the intertwined stories of wealth and bondage in preRevolutionary Massachusetts and to the resistance and political and legal activism of enslaved and free Black people in the eighteenth century. The museum is open to the public for tours on weekends from June through October while school and group tours are available from midMarch to midNovember.
