SUMMARY:Deck the Halls at Hammond Castle Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2025 Holiday Season as we proudly present our 7th annual “Deck The Halls” holiday celebration! \nTravel back in time to a castle filled with lush\, opulent textures inspired by the great medieval and Renaissance castles of Europe. Wander through rooms adorned with White Birch and Christmas trees\, sparkling fairy lights\, hydrangea-lace garlands\, and elegant bows\, each space transformed with its own unique holiday theme. From nature’s bounty of fruits and greenery to the warm glow of candlelight\, every detail creates a true feast for the senses. Along the way\, you will encounter a royal guard of nutcrackers standing watch over a gingerbread house replica of the castle. Keep an eye out for playful elves and gnomes who are up to mischief—great fun for little ones! This year\, the celebration will also shine with the glow of two menorahs on display\, honoring the traditions of Hanukkah within the Museum’s holiday splendor. \nFor the first time\, we are pleased to feature design elements created in partnership with Elaine Quinn Interiors\, a boutique residential interior design firm based in Manchester-by-the-Sea\, MA\, bringing fresh inspiration and artistry to this year’s holiday presentation. \nIn addition to the holiday installation\, guests will also have the opportunity to experience the Hammond in Italy temporary exhibition\, which highlights John Hays Hammond Jr.’s time abroad and the profound influence Italian art and architecture had on his vision for the castle. \nFor an even more enchanting experience\, join us for Deck the Halls by Candlelight on Thursday evenings throughout December. These extended-hour tours invite guests to explore the Museum after dark\, when the holiday décor glows with flickering candlelight and twinkling lights\, creating a truly magical atmosphere. \nGuests should plan for approximately 60 minutes in total to take in the full holiday grandeur.

SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings

SUMMARY:Secure the Shadow: Spirit & Post-mortem Photography in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:On November 1\, known as All Hallows Day\, when the veil between the living and the dead feels thin\, the Museum of Old Newbury invites you to a night where history\, memory\, and the supernatural converge. \nShadows Secured\, Spirits Revealed\nIn the 19th century\, photographic processes were little understood—and for many\, photographers offered a glimpse into a liminal world. Two distinct practices emerged: \nPost-Mortem Photography: Families commissioned portraits of deceased loved ones\, especially children or those never captured in life. These images\, often posed to resemble peaceful rest\, became cherished mementos of grief and remembrance.\nSpirit Photography: Far more controversial\, this trade promised to reveal ghostly figures lingering beside the living. Using double exposures\, props\, and trickery\, photographers like Boston’s William H. Mumler convinced clients they had tangible proof of life beyond the grave.\nTogether\, these practices reveal how the lines between technology\, grief\, and the supernatural blurred in the 19th century. \nHistorian and Executive Director Bethany Groff Dorau will lead guests through an illustrated journey into this fascinating era. Discover how New England photography studios—Newburyport among them—advertised “miniatures of deceased persons”\, as charlatans and mezmerizers produced ghostly images on film. Explore why these photographs held such deep meaning for families navigating loss and a changing vision of death and the afterlife. \nTo complete the evening\, guests will enjoy a tasting courtesy of Ipswich Ale Brewery\, featuring: \nRich dark stout and porter beers\nSeasonal winter wines\nFresh apple cider donuts\nFestive fall punch\nJoin us on All Hallows Eve for a gathering filled with haunting images and unforgettable stories.
