Topic: The Jeremiah Lee Brick Kitchen & Slave Quarters Excavation
Join us as we welcome Lauren McCormack, executive director of the Marblehead Museum, for a conversation on the acquisition of the kitchen and former slave quarters next door to the Jeremiah Lee Mansion in 2021. McCormack will walk us through efforts to use archaeology to research and incorporate the stories of underrepresented individuals into the public understanding of Marblehead’s history. The talk will explore the project's aims and walk us through the process to date, including funding issues, insights from archaeological excavations at the site, community feedback and more.
