The Museum of Old Newbury preserves and interprets the history of “Old Newbury” including Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury from pre-settlement to the present. Founded in 1877, the Museum carries out its mission through the preservation and administration of the Cushing House, the Perkins Engraving Plant, and other historic structures on its High Street campus and furthers its purpose through lectures, exhibitions, educational programs, publications, and research.

We receive partial funding for two interns. This year, we have six amazing students, from high-schoolers to graduate students, bringing energy and fun and baked goods to our busy office. Please consider a donation to support the interns at the Museum of Old Newbury, so we can keep these learning opportunities accessible to all.
