Eagle Hill is a historic district located in the town of Ipswich. It encompasses a rural landscape that has been shaped by centuries of agricultural and maritime activity. The district includes several historic buildings, such as the 17th-century Whipple House, the 18th-century Heard House, and the 19th-century Eagle Hill School. The district also has views of the Great Neck peninsula and the Ipswich River.

The causeway on Jeffrey’s Neck Road provides access to Great Neck.

Great Neck is a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of bluff, hill, upland, and beach with presently more than four hundred and forty homes, located three miles from the center of Ipswich and thirty miles from Boston. It is skirted on three sides by water: Plum Island Sound, Ipswich River, and Eagle Hill River. Its hills command a view of the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Ann to Mount Agamenticus in Maine. From the very beginning of the Town’s history, this great, isolated tract has been the most noteworthy portion of the old common lands. Its forests were an important asset, its value as a safe and extensive pasture was very great, and the fishing station on its beach and hillside was a large factor in the industrial development of the Town. After the first decade of the eighteenth century, it held a unique position as the only valuable portion of the old common lands which was retained by all the Commoners in a body.
