Hingham Community Center

The Hingham Community Center (HCC) is located in the Ensign John Thaxter House at the corner of South and Central Street in Hingham Square. The Thaxter House was constructed as a family residence in 1718. In the 300 years since, the building has undergone numerous expansions and renovations to fulfil many different purposes. In 1957 the John Thaxter House became home to HCC, previously known as the Wompatuck Club and the Wompatuck Community Center. Today, HCC is governed by a community board and provides an array of programs, classes, activities, and community events for the South Shore. Our programming has changed over the years, but our commitment to serve and enrich the community and to provide a gathering place for our neighbors has remained the same.
