Join us for an exciting evening at the New Acquisitions for Old Newbury event! This is your chance to connect with fellow members and celebrate our organization's achievements over the past year.

On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 6:30, we will gather for a reception at 98 High Street, Newburyport, MA 01950 to reconnect with friends and neighbors who share our passion for preserving the rich history of the Newburys.

During this in-person event, following a brief business meeting, you will have the opportunity to view highlights of the past year's acquisitions. Learn the story of John Burke's talismanic "Masterpiece" cane. View an extraordinary collection of historic Plum Island images captured on glass plate negatives, and learn about a rare marsh painting by Lilian Wescott Hale. Hear an extremely rare contemporary account of the flamboyant Lord Timothy Dexter. Find out why a stump may be the most interesting acquisition of the year, mourn the tragic loss of young father Samuel Lunt during the Civil War, and so much more!
