Captain John Sears of Dennis designed the first saltworks\, using solar evaporation to produce the salt essential for preserving fish and eliminating the dependance on imported goods. \nAt the Jericho Historical Center discover the history of the first saltworks\, explore a detailed model\, see a demonstration of solar evaporation\, and view photographs and early artifacts. \nIn addition\, tour an historic full cape house built in 1801\, and occupied by the Baker family until 1955\, containing 19th century furnishings\, textiles\, paintings and keepsakes. In the barn\, tools and equipment from the 1800s are displayed\, as well as a carriage that raced at Riverside Trotting Park.

Private letters\, intimate diaries\, and newspaper accounts reveal how the Declaration of Independence grew from draft to founding document. 1776: Declaring Independence spotlights handwritten copies of the Declaration by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson as well as multiple early printings\, including a rare Dunlap broadside. On and off the page\, we explore how it echoed across the commonwealth and around the world\, reshaping the colonists’ chances of launching a new nation. How did the Declaration change Americans’ quest for liberty\, then and now? We invite visitors to trace the Declaration’s complex legacy as a national beacon for celebration and protest. \nCheck here for closures and more admission information: https://www.masshist.org/visit/hours-and-admission URL:https://massachusetts250.org/event/1776-declaring-independence/2027-08-24/ LOCATION:Massachusetts Historical Society\, Boylston Street 1154\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, 02215\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://massachusetts250.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/MHS-1776-graphics_converted.png ORGANIZER;CN="Massachusetts Historical Society":MAILTO:communications@masshist.org GEO:42.3464046;-71.0898925 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Massachusetts Historical Society Boylston Street 1154 Boston Massachusetts 02215 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Boylston Street 1154:geo:-71.0898925,42.3464046 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
