Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

  • Steve Bromage, Maine Historical Society Re: 19Th Century Baseball/June 30Th Date: February 27, 2012 ______
    To: Fort Williams Adivisory Commission, Town of Cape Elizabeth From: Steve Bromage, Maine Historical Society Re: 19th Century Baseball/June 30th Date: February 27, 2012 ______________________________________________________________________________ Maine Historical Society is exploring the possibilities of bringing a group that puts on 19th century baseball games to the Portland area for an event on Saturday, June 30. (Please see attached for a description of their program.) The group we have been talking to, the Essex Base Ball Organization, has a growing league and well- established program based in Newbury, Massachusetts that plays nine-inning games by baseball rules and customs of the 19th century. They wear period uniforms and play on an open field. (They don’t need a perfectly-groomed diamond.) MHS sees many proposals for these kinds of re-enacments; few have been as impressive as this group. The league is run by a teacher, and their program focuses on education and enagement as well as playing the games themselves. The event would consist of the following: teams from Essex Base Ball Organization would play two nine- inning games (60-90 minutes each). Between the games, they would talk about baseball in that era, and provide an opportunity for kids to run the bases, interact with the players, and ask questions. The entire event would last approximately three hours, and be held between 10am-2pm on Saturday, June 30. Maine Historical’s interest is in putting on an event that is fun, loosely-educational, and entertaining for a diverse audience, whether they are explicitly interested in history or not. Our goal would be to keep the event relatively simple—that is to find a good location, let the teams play their games, and to do extensive outreach and marketing.
