Holidays at the Cushing House
Visit the 1808 Cushing House on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8 from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to enjoy this National Historic Landmark in all its holiday finery!
Guests will enjoy exquisite decorations, festive music and the company of friends and neighbors for two days of first floor walk-through tours. On Saturday, December 7 from 11 to 2 p.m., and again on Sunday from 12-3, traditional music group O’Carolan Etc. will perform music that would have been familiar to the earliest residents of this house.
The grand 1808 Cushing House is a perfect space to highlight the talents of area garden clubs and decorators including volunteers from the Newburyport Garden Club, Newburyport Horticultural Society, Newbury Garden Club, and West Newbury Garden Club. Special thanks to Martha Bower and Tom Bower and Phyllis Orem for the door wreaths and other decor.
This event is free to members of the Museum of Newbury and residents of "Old Newbury" (Newbury, West Newbury, Newburyport and Byfield) to thank the community for their support. $10 for general admission. Donations gratefully appreciated.
