Celebrate the beginning of summer on the front terrace of Otis House.

Pop inside to explore one of the home’s lesser-known histories as part of Beacon Hill’s 19th-century medical community.

This year’s event draws on the neighborhood’s legacy as a medical hub, including Elizabeth Mott’s practice at the Otis House and other trailblazing healers.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to head inside for brief talks on the topic.

Meet new friends, and enjoy wine or an herbal remedy cocktail, live jazz music, and delicious hors d’oeuvres from The Tip Tap Room.

Hosted by Historic New England and the Beacon Hill Civic Association.

Historic New England and Beacon Hill Civic Association Members $55; Nonmember $60.

Please call (617) 994-5920 for more information.

Rain date: Friday, June 12.

Accessibility Considerations: The site is not equipped with ramps, elevators, or lifts and the house is not air-conditioned.
