Join us for walking tours of Newburyport’s architectural styles from the 18th and 19th centuries as found near the Museum of Old Newbury.
About this Event

Architectural styles, like clothing, come into fashion for functional, aesthetic, economic and social reasons. Over time homeowners renovate, enhance, and adapt to reflect changing times and fashions.

Join us for a walking tour of Newburyport’s architectural styles from the 18th and 19th centuries as found along High Street and the neighborhood near the Museum of Old Newbury. Learn to distinguish prevalent styles, note changes that have occurred over time, and determine what questions to ask about historic houses.

This approximately 90-minute walk allows ample time to walk and talk with your knowledgeable guide and other participants. Together we will walk through time using the lens of Newburyport’s fashionable old houses!

Wear comfortable shoes for uneven terrain and bring a water bottle. *In case of extreme weather, this event will be an illustrated talk in the Lecture Hall at the Museum of Old Newbury.
