SUMMARY:Member Mornings: Behind the Scenes at the Balch House
DESCRIPTION:Historic Beverly members are invited to a special behind-the-scenes tour of the John Balch House\, one of the oldest surviving homes in Massachusetts. First settled by John Balch\, an early colonist who arrived in New England in the 1620s and established his homestead along the Bass River by 1636\, the property offers a remarkable window into early colonial life. \nDuring this exclusive members-only program\, explore areas of the house not typically open to the public and learn how the structure evolved over three centuries\, from a modest seventeenth-century dwelling to the restored historic landmark we see today. Staff will share insights into the house’s architecture\, preservation history\, and ongoing restoration efforts that continue to safeguard this extraordinary survivor of early New England. \nNot a Historic Beverly member?

SUMMARY:Member Morning: Behind the Scenes of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:NOTE DATE CHANGE! This program will take place on Friday morning (6/26)  instead of Saturday (6/27). \nHistoric Beverly members are invited to an exclusive early look at Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy before the exhibition opens to the public the following week. \nThis special Member Morning program offers a behind-the-scenes exploration of the exhibition’s development\, themes\, and featured objects while providing deeper insight into the enduring global impact of the Declaration of Independence. Guests will hear from Historic Beverly staff about the curatorial process\, the significance of the exhibition’s primary source materials\, and the remarkable story behind Beverly’s connection to the Declaration through General John Glover’s July 17\, 1776 public reading at Independence Park. \nOn loan from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History\, Declaration 1776 examines how the revolutionary assertion that “all men are created equal” became one of the most influential ideas in modern history. Through rare documents\, images\, and firsthand accounts\, the exhibition traces how the Declaration inspired abolitionist movements\, civil rights struggles\, and global fights for self-determination across generations. \nCentered around the reading copy of the Declaration used by General John Glover in Beverly in 1776\, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the promise\, power\, and continuing evolution of equality and democracy in America and around the world. \nJoin us for this first look at this powerful new exhibition before it officially opens to the public. \nNot a Historic Beverly member but want to attend?
