This is the third of a three-part video series about the recent opening of a new jewel in Museum of Old Newbury's crown: The Perkins Art & Research Center (PARC). Annabelle and her father, Eric, have both contributed time and talent to PARC. Learn about the Graves Family Letters and the balance of architectural approaches to renovating the Perkins Mint so it can house our community's collective historic treasures.

PARC is located in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It serves as a safe, climate-controlled haven for the collected treasures of North Shore communities in Essex County, Massachusetts in the area surrounding Newburyport. Prior to this, the Cushing House did keep these archives safe, however, the architecture was not meant to support the weight of these books, files, and artifacts, nor were those resources readily available to scholars, families, and other researchers looking to use them.

The Museum of Old Newbury preserves and interprets the history of “Old Newbury," which includes Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury, from settlement to the present.

The Museum carries out its mission in part through the ownership and operation of the Cushing House Museum, the Perkins Engraving Plant, and other historic structures on the Cushing House grounds. The Museum furthers its purpose through lectures, exhibitions, educational programs, school tours, publications, a research library, and cooperation with area groups interested in local history.

The Museum of Old Newbury seeks to share historical information to broaden knowledge and appreciation of the past, address historic preservation in the present, and provide a foundation for the future.
