Visiting the Cushing House Museum in Newburyport, MA
On a recent trip to the Boston area, we stopped in once more at the Cushing House Museum, which is owned and operated by the Historical Society of Old Newbury. While we've visited quite an assortment of house museums throughout the country (and beyond), the Cushing House will always remain one of our favorites. We like that visitors can actually walk through each room, unencumbered by velvet ropes or barricades, to get a close look at the objects on display. We like that the collection is rooted in the history of the Newburyport community, including items from notable locals like Caleb Cushing, Laura Coombs Hills, and John Marquand. We like the way the wide variety of items on display (everything from elegant furnishings to chamber pots; from baby clothes to muskets and powder horns) show what life was like in the Federalist era. But best of all, we like the personalized nature of the tours given by extremely knowledgeable volunteers.
