Come by and be ready to roll up your sleeves and get wet.  Visit the wash yard of the 1808 Cushing House in Newburyport and try your hand at cleaning clothes the old-fashioned way, with a washboard and wash tub.  Learn where the house’s water would have come from, see where clothes were dried in the rain, and hear about the people who would have done this work for the Cushing family in 1900.  All ages welcome.  Rain or shine.  Part of Essex County Trails & Sails.
