North Andover Historical Society

Historic house museums have long shaped how we understand the past—but whose stories have been centered, and whose have been left untold?
Hidden Histories is a dynamic panel discussion that brings together museum professionals, historians, and cultural practitioners to explore how historic sites can move beyond traditional narratives to tell fuller, more inclusive stories.
Hosted by The Trustees in partnership with the North Andover Historical Society and North Shore Juneteenth Association Inc., this conversation will examine how historic house museums are reinterpreting spaces, collections, and archives to acknowledge the lives, labor, and experiences of marginalized and underrepresented communities.&nbsp;
