More information about visiting Ipswich is available at the Ipswich Visitor Center located in the Hall-Haskell House, an officially designated Essex National Heritage Area Visitor Center, offering literature on Ipswich and the surrounding towns. The Hall-Haskell House is within shouting distance of the IHS historic houses and offers free parking; it's easy to just walk over.

Guided tours around the region are provided by Olde Ipswich Tours. New again this summer: A bus service called the Ipswich-Essex Explorer transports visitors to key sites in Ipswich and nearby Essex, leaving from the Ipswich Train Depot.
