About this Event

Join noted author and historian Ghlee Woodworth for a walk from the 1808 Cushing House down State Street into the commercial and maritime heart of Newburyport. Hear how taverns, merchant mansions, privateering fortunes, shipmasters, and public spaces helped shape the city during the American Revolution. Along the way, discover women's roles in supporting the Revolution, and explore Tristram and Ruth Dalton, Patrick and Nathaniel Tracy, the Wolfe Tavern, the Marine Society, and Market Square, while tracing how later fires, urban renewal, and preservation reshaped the streets where Revolutionary Newburyport unfolded.
