Mapping Marblehead: The Nineteenth Century
Marblehead Historic Commission
Old Town House, Marblehead, MA

Opened in July 2021, “Mapping Marblehead: The Nineteenth Century” was the second of three temporary installations featuring the history of the town and its maps. The exhibit showcased the history of Marblehead as it transformed itself from a fishing village to an industrial center for shoemaking and then to a center for yachting and tourism.

The exhibit included interpretive panels, artifacts, and interactive maps illustrating Marblehead’s growth and expansion. It also offered visitors the chance to step into a life-size representation of a nineteenth-century view of Marblehead Harbor from Crocker Park, for a delightful photo opportunity.
