About Us

Dear Hingham,

Allow us to introduce ourselves! We're Hilary Jenison and Laura Winters: local residents, moms, and the owners and operators of The Hingham Anchor, a hyper-local news and lifestyle digital resource for this town we call home. Gingham, Swingham, Blingham–we’ve heard it all, but the truth is, we love this seaside oasis and want to celebrate all that it has to offer.  

The goal of the Anchor is to be a relevant, local news hub to keep you informed of town happenings in a way that is fresh, engaging, and most of all, fun! Our goal on this maiden voyage is to introduce you to new people, keep you in the know on town developments, celebrate Hingham’s heritage and provide the skinny on the latest local restaurants, shops, events, and more. 

You may know someone’s name from the Pinboardheck, you might have bought something from them off Yardsale! The Hingham Anchor wants to take these cherished, helpful (and, let’s be honest, sometimes comical) town forums a step further. Let’s get to know our neighbors and get informed by local experts on topics we care about. We hope you’ll hop aboard with us; we can’t always promise smooth sailing but let’s all try to enjoy the ride. 

Ahoy,

Laura and Hilary
