History your way not their way…

My Newburyport could actually be your Newburyport! I love the history of this city, but how many books, websites, and museums can you read, and visit all delivering the same historical information. You know the usual suspects, such as Lord Timothy Dexter, William Lloyd Garrison and that woman who choked to death on a pea, but not to be confused with Dexter’s Pickle. Stay awake with me now as we are about to enter the 20th century.

Greatness and admiration in the eyes of a voyeur of someone, something or some place is wasted if you let time take it from you. More often then not, you are just one of many admirers of that special place. However, it is possible you could be the only one, and we may not want to go there with you. Seriously now, help me pack this site with local memories from the decades of Happiness, Love, Indulgence and Greed. The typical Newburyport experience was not that of Dexter and the Cushings. It was that of the common man and woman, many of which lived in the home you are in now.

Do we share the same Newburyport? Contribute, relive and help keep alive this time in Newburyport’s history. You are already a part of it!
