The sample was composed of fifty crewel embroidered items, believed to have been created between 1620 and 1781, within the geographic boundaries of New England. A data sheet, plus color slides or black and white sketches, were used to record information pertaining to each embroidered item.

Schuler Virginia Adams, PAL Local Project Coordinator Rebecca Curran, Town Planner Local Heritage Landscape Participants Wayne Butler Rebecca Curran Bill Conly Charlie Dalferro Joseph Homan Bette Hunt Judy Jacobi John Liming Frank McIver Ed Nilsson Miller Shropshire William Woodfin May 2005 INTRODUCTION Essex County is known for its unusually rich and varied landscapes, which are represented in each of its 34 municipalities. Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced land use patterns; and they often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps towards their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.
  • Fort Sewall History and Research Project

    Fort Sewall History and Research Project

    Grants Fund Historical Research in 2020 th for 375 Anniversary of Fort Sewall in 2019 Established in 1644, 375 years ago, Marblehead’s Fort Sewall is beloved for its spectacular views over Marblehead Harbor and beyond. But, it is also rare and important as one of only a very few early coastal defensive earthwork forts from the 1600s still existing on the North American continent. This summer, preservation and site renovations to improve visitor accessibility are well underway. Approved by town-wide vote last year, the work is managed by McGinley Kalsow & Associates Inc., and is overseen by the Town’s Fort Sewall Oversight Committee. In addition to the voter-approved funding for the improvements, the preservation work is supported by $210,000 in grant awards from state agencies (the Massachusetts Cultural Council through its Cultural Facilities Fund and MassDevelopment, as well as the Massachusetts Historical Commission through its Preservation Projects Fund) as well as by generous individual donations. The donations will also support a summer Fort Ranger docent program and an endowment for ongoing fort maintenance. The Fort Sewall Oversight Committee is also pleased to announce that three grants totaling nearly $10,000 for historical research and education about the fort were awarded this year by two phil- anthropic historical organizations: the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati and the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars (with a match from the parent organization, the General Society of C. Wars). The research will result in a comprehensive report about the fort’s evolution over nearly three centuries, from its establishment in 1644 until 1922, when national U.S.

    OHDC Town Meeting Letter FINAL

    Old and Historic Marblehead Districts Commission c/o Engineering Department Mary Alley Municipal Building, 7 Widger Road Marblehead, Massachusetts 01945 Tel: (781) 631-1529 Fax: (781) 631-2617 At the May 3, 2021 Town Meeting, the Old & Historic Districts Commission (OHDC) will be asking for your support on two articles: Article 33, adopting a Demolition by Neglect bylaw for the historic districts, and Article 34, correcting some contradictory language in the current bylaws governing the OHDC. In Marblehead we are blessed with one of the most unique historic districts in the nation. With the largest, single collection of pre-revolution homes in the country, Marblehead’s historic districts extend from Waldron Street to Fort Sewall to Barnegat and Gingerbread Hill. They are home to pre-war mansions like the Jeremiah Lee Mansion and the King Hooper Mansion, the beautiful homes of Elbridge Gerry and General Glover, as well as the simpler homes of fishermen, shipbuilders and cordwainers that are scattered throughout the districts. In 1967, recognizing the importance of these buildings and their collective value to Marblehead and the nation, the town voted to establish the Old & Historic Districts, and to oversee their preservation, the Old & Historic Districts Commission. Over the years, as in many other historic districts across the nation, the OHDC has worked with property owners to preserve the unique historical character of their homes and communities while charting ways to accommodate modern living. Occasionally, historic districts have encountered developers and owners who attempt to destroy a historic home by intentionally neglecting it to clear the way for a vacant site or a new home.

  • Map and Walking Tour of Historic Marblehead

    Start your walking tour at Abbot Hall on Washington Square 1 . The building was constructed in 1876, and A Walk Through is the seat of Marblehead’s town government. In it, many artifacts of Marblehead’s history Historic are displayed in several areas, maintained by the Marblehead Marblehead Historical Commission. In the large Selectmen’s Room, a focal point is The Spirit of ‘76 A self-guided Walking Tour painting by Archibald Willard. Nearby is the original deed of Downtown Marblehead to Marblehead from an Algonquian tribe of Native Americans, dated 1684. Above that is a bust sculpture of 1 Elbridge Gerry, who was a Revolutionary Patriot statesman, Abbot Hall signer of the Declaration of Independence, Governor of Massachusetts in 1810, and United States Vice President under James Madison during the three-year War of 1812. Another historical painting among several there depicts the Crossing of the Delaware River in December 1776 during the American Revolution for the surprise attack on Trenton, NJ, which turned the tide of the war. The crossing was orchestrated by Marblehead’s military regiment of several hundred men from a town of just over 900 families, under the command of Colonel, later General, John Glover. The Marblehead mariners manned the boats that carried George Washington’s Continental Army across the ice-choked river, and their tenacity and endurance made the difficult crossing possible, throughout Christmas night in 1776, in lashing sleet, and back again after the battle, with prisoners. Remarkably, there were no American The Spirit of ‘76 casualties in that entire engagement. A portrait of the Marblehead Regiment’s commander, Colonel John Glover, portrays him after he was promoted to General in early 1777.

Independence National Historical Park Collecti Preface When one intensely researches, studies, contemplates and wor- ries about a subject for a long period of time, as Susan Anderson has done with the problems related to the reconstruction and interpreta- tion of the Senate Chamber carpet, then the inanimate object be- comes almost a living thing. That sense of aliveness was conveyed to me in her handling of this text, which is both expository and in- terpretive at one and the same time. I cannot help but believe that it was so for the Senators who comprised the upper house of the first six Congresses of the United States, which convened in Congress Hall in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1800. The carpet's message was implicit in its design elements; it spoke of America's promise, her abundance of natural resources, and the power vested in Congress to govern the country with wis- dom and justice.
