Gables members! Let’s visit The Sargent House Museum in Gloucester together.
For over 100 years, the Sargent House was the home of sea merchants, patriots, and community leaders. A fine example of high-style Georgian domestic architecture, the house was built in 1782. Today, the Sargent House Museum seeks to engage the public in the life, times, writings, and home of Judith Sargent Murray, a pioneering advocate of women’s education and equality. Moreover, the Sargent House Museum seeks to empower women and men, young and old, to value women’s equality, education, and role in the community for the benefit of the common good.
In addition, we will be able to explore a small collection of original works by the great portrait painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), a descendant of the Sargent family who loved the house and its ties to Post-Revolutionary Gloucester.
