Learn why there is an 18th-century horseshoe in the permanent exhibits, how the Meeting House is indebted to a fire engine from New Hampshire, how Louisa May Alcott and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow supported the Meeting House’s preservation in the late 1800s, why William Lloyd Garrison didn’t, and how this building’s preservation story continues as it approaches its 300th birthday!
This program is made possible with funding from the Lowell Institute.
