SUMMARY:Member Mornings: Behind the Scenes at the Balch House
DESCRIPTION:Historic Beverly members are invited to a special behind-the-scenes tour of the John Balch House\, one of the oldest surviving homes in Massachusetts. First settled by John Balch\, an early colonist who arrived in New England in the 1620s and established his homestead along the Bass River by 1636\, the property offers a remarkable window into early colonial life. \nDuring this exclusive members-only program\, explore areas of the house not typically open to the public and learn how the structure evolved over three centuries\, from a modest seventeenth-century dwelling to the restored historic landmark we see today. Staff will share insights into the house’s architecture\, preservation history\, and ongoing restoration efforts that continue to safeguard this extraordinary survivor of early New England. \nNot a Historic Beverly member?
