DEAR FRIEND,In a rapidly changing world, saving the

stories, buildings, and objects of the past isn’t

just a nice thing to do—it is essential to the

quality of our communities and our lives.

This year, more people than ever joined with

us to help preserve and share our region’s

heritage. Amidst a challenging climate for

museums and nonprofit organizations,

Historic New England achieved increased

attendance at our historic sites for the tenth

consecutive year, and reached an all-time high

in membership. We served a record number

of New England schoolchildren at our sites

and in communities across the region.

Our five program areas—historic properties,

archives and publications, collections,

preservation services, and education

programs—inspire individuals and

organizations to get involved in a variety

of ways. This year, the Rhode Island

Foundation, recognizing the importance

of our Project CHICK education program

to schools and libraries, supported it

with a grant for $10,000. Anne S. Bullis

of Marblehead, Massachusetts, donated

a tablecloth that was once used at our

Sarah Orne Jewett House in South, Berwick,

Maine. Newburyport Five Cents Savings

Bank Charitable Foundation, understanding

the importance of Spencer-Peirce-Little

Farm as a community gathering place on

Massachusetts’ North Shore, contributed

$7,500 to a drainage project at the farm.

A $40,000 grant from the Americana

Foundation allowed us to create a year-long

curatorial fellowship to catalogue more than

800 pieces of Massachusetts furniture.

Anonymous donors supported a major

acquisition of an extraordinary property,

the William Ellery Channing Eustis Estate in

Milton, Massachusetts, allowing us to preserve

nearly 100 acres of open space and an 1878

mansion designed by William Ralph Emerson.

At a time when some organizations question

the continuing value of preserving historic

houses and landscapes, Historic New England

will ensure that this property is preserved as

an educational and cultural resource for the

community for years to come.

Not every historic property worth saving is

best preserved as a historic house museum.

Historic New England continues to work

with private homeowners to protect important

features of historic houses through our

Stewardship Easement Program, which

surpassed eighty total easements last year.

More people than ever in Historic New England’s 103-year history joined with us to help preserve and share our region’s heritage.

This program allows us to protect our first H.H. Richardson-designed structure,

the Ames Gate Lodge, through a partnership with The Trustees of Reservations.

We also maximized public benefit of our museum properties through innovative use of

space, such as a new exhibitions program at Governor John Langdon House in Portsmouth,

New Hampshire. This program facilitated a partnership with the Smithsonian Institution

Traveling Exhibition Service to show The Way We Worked photography exhibit at Langdon

House, and helped boost 2012 attendance at the property by fifty percent.

The more people we reach through projects across New England, the more we learn about

the aspects of our region’s heritage that inspire its citizens. Eleven-year-old Angela Baack

of Newton, Massachusetts, convinced her parents to become members, then completed the

rare accomplishment of visiting all thirty-six Historic New England properties in less than

one year. Our museum guides have reported that other members have been inspired by

Angela’s story, bringing curious ten- and eleven-year-olds to tour our sites.

In March, our curatorial staff presented a lecture in Rhode Island to share research we’ve

gathered for an upcoming exhibition on jewelry history. We were surprised and delighted

by the enthusiasm shown by visitors who filled the lecture beyond capacity, the local media,

including front-page placement in the Providence Journal, and members and others who

were unable to attend but contacted us to share the ways in which jewelry affected their

lives. From a woman eager to tell the story of her father’s work in a jewelry factory to a

man interested in donating his collection of mid-century Modern pieces, it was immediately

clear that the jewelry itself—these historic objects—provides a gateway for people to come

together around a common heritage.

Historic New England is about saving and sharing this common heritage. Through

regional outreach and innovative programs, we are changing the outlook for historic

house museums. Our membership is growing, young people are becoming involved, we

are welcoming more visitors than ever before in our 103-year history, and our work is

garnering national attention. We hope you’ll discover opportunities to become even

more involved. Preserving our New England heritage depends on you.

Among a collection of thirty-six historic properties, Historic New England preserves

the oldest wood-frame house in New Hampshire (Jackson House, Portsmouth); the

oldest house in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Cooper-Frost-Austin House); and the home

of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, who helped start a wave of Modernism in the

twentieth century (Gropius House, Lincoln, Massachusetts).

This year, we added another architectural gem to our collection: the William Ellery

Channing Eustis Estate in Milton, Massachusetts. The1878 mansion designed by

noted architect William Ralph Emerson is located eight miles south of Boston, on

land adjoining the Blue Hills Reservation.

In addition to expanding the range of architectural periods and styles represented in our

collection of historic properties, purchase of the Eustis Estate presents new opportunities

for us to advance the study of Gilded Age architecture, landscape, and decorative arts;

protect nearly eighty acres of open space; and welcome the public with tours and events.

Having spent the past three years raising an unprecedented $4.8 million to support the

preservation of historic properties, this year Historic New England continued to work to

SAVING NEW ENGLAND’S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

grow the Preservation Maintenance

Fund, a fund dedicated to maintaining

our properties proactively.

Upholding the standard dictated by our

preservation philosophy requires year-

round attention from our property care

experts and professional contractors. A

major structural repair project protected

Sayward-Wheeler House, overlooking

the York River in York Harbor, Maine,

from water infiltration. Repairs to the

portico, balustrade, and other highly

visible exterior elements of Governor

John Langdon House in Portsmouth, New

Hampshire, made the property even more

welcoming to visitors, many of whom came

to enjoy a new exhibition series. An energy

efficiency and weatherization project at the

Lyman Estate in Waltham, Massachusetts,

cut energy use in the Georgian mansion

by an extraordinary sixty-six percent,

far surpassing the project goal of fifty

percent. The popular PBS series Antiques

Roadshow featured a segment on Beauport,

Sleeper-McCann House, in Gloucester,

Massachusetts, and captured the property

at its best following a recent restoration

of the Arts and Crafts landscape.

Across a wide range of activities, from

house tours to crafts festivals, outdoor

concerts to weddings and summer camps,

a record 178,000 visitors experienced

these architectural treasures in 2012 and

discovered the stories of four centuries of

life in New England.

More than 42,000 children participated in

innovative programs at our historic sites and

in communities throughout the region.

At Historic New England, education goes

beyond history. Our education programs

use primary source materials from the past

to teach science, math, and creative and

critical thinking skills. Students learn about

agricultural practices that have stood the

test of time through the centuries, the basics

of balancing a businessman’s account book,

units of measures, simple machines, and

human and animal adaptation in the cold-

weather months.

“Students are physically transported to

a different environment,” wrote one East

Boston teacher after taking her class to Pierce

House in Dorchester, Massachusetts. “They

are not watching a movie or a computer

screen. They are interacting with a real

person. This is learning that stays with you.”

Historic New England presented 245 public events and programs this year.

IGNITING A PASSION FOR HISTORY

7

One very popular program in Rhode Island, Project CHICK, brings students outdoors

and helps them understand animal lifecycles. An educator based at Casey Farm in

Saunderstown visits a classroom with everything needed to incubate eggs, sets up the

equipment, and engages students in a hands-on presentation about Dominique chickens

and eggs. Twenty-one days later, as students observe, the chicks hatch. Baby chicks are

returned to the farm, where students visit them and learn about free-range chickens on one

of the oldest farms in the state. Thanks to the popularity of the program with more than

150 schools and libraries, the Providence Journal featured it in a photo spread and online

video in March 2013.

Programs like Project CHICK provide a unique experiential supplement to classroom

learning. Historic New England heavily subsidizes the cost of field trips to our sites so that

schools are able to pay for transportation.

In just three years, we completed our

centennial goal, announced in 2010,

of partnering with 100 communities

through the 100 Years, 100 Communities

initiative, which creates projects designed to

preserve and share twentieth-century history.

Following the completion of 100 Years, 100

Communities, Historic New England launched

the Everyone’s History initiative, in which oral

history projects, award-winning documentary

films, and traveling and online exhibitions tell

the diverse stories of New Englanders in the

twentieth century and beyond.

A new workshop series, Remembering Home,

engages older adults at senior centers and

assisted living facilities. In the program, a

workshop leader shares a twentieth-century

artifact that inspires participants to express

their memories through poems or other

creative outlets.

An Everyone’s History partnership with the

AVA Gallery and Art Center in Lebanon,

New Hampshire, produced a documentary

In just three years, we completed our centennial goal, announced in 2010, of partnering with 100 communities.

Historic New England presents exhibitions at museums and other venues in all six New England states.

at the H.W. Carter and Sons Factory. The film

chronicled the evolution of Lebanon through

the rise and fall of a denim manufacturer,

whose building later transformed into the

AVA Gallery, a thriving contemporary art

center. In addition to drawing crowds to

screenings in Lebanon, the film aired on

New Hampshire Public Television, among

other stations, and won an award from the

American Association for State and Local

History (AASLH).

11

Historic New England partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition

Service (SITES) and its Museum on Main Street program to bring a photography

exhibition, The Way We Worked, to all six New England states. Comprising photos from

the National Archives, The Way We Worked charts the history of work in American culture.

Historic New England collaborated with more than a dozen venues, from the Vermont

Granite Museum to the New Haven Public Library in Connecticut, to draw a large public

audience to the exhibit.

Thanks to a new preservation easement, the Ames Gate Lodge is the first H.H. Richardson property protected by Historic New England.

This year, visitors enjoyed more opportunities than ever to discover these collections in person as well as online.

We continue to invest in staffing,

infrastructure, and state-of-the-art

equipment to expand and improve this

online resource. This year, Historic New

England secured a $142,559 matching grant

from the Institute of Museum and Library

Services (IMLS) to expand online access to

our renowned wallpaper collection. When

the project is completed, more than 6,000

historic wallpaper records will be accessible as

high-resolution zoomable images for students,

homeowners, textile experts, interior designers,

researchers, and staff at other museums.

We also implemented technological

improvements to the Collections Access

Project. Users now have access to larger

images, multiple images per record,

and social sharing buttons. Beyond the

Collections Access Project, visitors to

HistoricNewEngland.org read first-person

accounts of preservation projects from

carpenters, conservators, and other experts,

with step-by-step photo galleries illustrating

how Historic New England cares for the

treasures we preserve.

CONNECTING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT

This year, visitors enjoyed more

opportunities than ever to discover these

collections in person as well as online. We

welcomed a record numbers to behind-

the-scenes tours of our collections storage

and conservation facilities in Haverhill,

Massachusetts; the Library and Archives

in Boston; and in-depth programs like

the week-long Program in New England

Studies. In summer 2012, an eighteenth-

century bombé chest, one of only forty of its

kind, returned to its original home, Quincy

House in Quincy, Massachusetts, for visitors

to enjoy. Historic New England was able to

display the chest thanks to the generosity of

a long-time supporter.

The Young Friends of Historic New England membership group continues to grow. More

than 150 young adults enjoy exclusive tours, gallery walks, cocktail tastings, and joint

programs with other young adult member groups from other museums, such as the U.S.S.

Constitution Museum and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Historic New England’s other specialty membership groups continue to grow as well.

The Ogden Codman Design Group is popular among design professionals and enthusiasts

to meet, network, and enjoy special access to some of New England’s most unique interiors.

More than 150 members of the Historic Homeowner membership program received

personalized access to staff expertise on old-house maintenance this year, from paint

consultation to weatherization.

CREATING CONNECTIONS

14

Appleton Circle members, our most committed

supporters, enjoyed more exclusive access to

art, architecture, and antiques in New England

and beyond, with a wider range of experiences

tied to new levels of participation. Members

traveled to Philadelphia for a private tour of

the Barnes Foundation’s new building, along

with visits to private homes and collections in

the area. They joined the Karolik Society of

the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for a trip

to New York City featuring private access

to the Hispanic Society of America, a newly

designated National Historic Landmark, and

the newly restored Morris-Jumel Mansion, the

oldest house on the island of Manhattan and

General Washington’s headquarters in 1776.

Appleton Circle members Sandra and Holt

Massey helped arrange an exclusive visit

to Holt’s native Richmond, Virginia, to see

one of the most significant public collections

of Art Nouveau and Art Deco decorative

arts outside of Paris at the newly expanded

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, along with

private visits to some of the oldest and

grandest manor houses of the tobacco

plantations along the James River.

More than 150 young adults enjoy exclusive tours, gallery walks, cocktail tastings, and joint programs with other young adult member groups from other museums.

OTIS SOCIETY

The Otis Society honors donors who include Historic New England in their wills and estate

plans. Named for Harrison Gray Otis, the prominent lawyer and politician whose 1796

home has been a Historic New England museum since 1916, this important group reflects the

extraordinary impact of planned giving on the future of Historic New England. Otis Society

benefits include invitations to exclusive events and recognition in the annual report.
