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 13, 2023, 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.

Please note: This event is free for members, but registration is required as space is somewhat limited. Please reserve your place by registering here.

During this in-person event, following a brief business meeting, you will have the opportunity to view highlights of the past year's acquisitions. Enjoy images of Newburyport and New England from two ground-breaking amateur photographers from the turn of the last century, John White Winder and George Varney, and a 20th century collection of slides documenting Newburyport during and after urban renewal. Check out 20th century design artifacts from Towle Silver Company, breath-taking ephemera from two doomed Newburyport captains, and items from the Pearson collection, spanning two centuries of intimate family history in Newburyport and Byfield.

Don't miss out on this special event! Join us at New Acquisitions for Old Newbury and be part of our mission to preserve and celebrate the history of our remarkable community. We look forward to seeing you there!
