COVID-19 ALERT

In an effort to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, The Johnson House Historic Site                                            will be closed to the public until further notice

Johnson House will continue to closely monitor the recommendations and
instructions from the agencies of the Commonwealth, City, and Federal

Johnson House is doing its best to keep the safety of our staff and
community uppermost in our minds.  We also understand that we must do our
part to proceed responsibly during a situation that is ever-evolving.

In light of the growing concerns Johnson House will take the following
steps:

§   Suspend public programming events until further notice.

§   Suspend History Hunters Youth Reporter public school classroom field

We will monitor and reevaluate this situation regularly and communicate
updates as quickly as we can.  We will update our website and social media
