Early American History
We Texans think we have a long history, but it pales compared to Marblehead, MA which was founded in 1629. If you are a history buff, The Marblehead Museum and the 1768 Jeremiah Lee Mansion across the street are well worth visiting. The J.O.J. Frost Gallery offers some marvelous primitive art that depicts this premier fishing village in the 19th century. Jeremiah Lee was one of the wealthiest men in New England and a supporter of the cause of independence who would have been much more famous in our history books were it not for his untimely demise after trying to escape the British. The mansion he built was one of the most opulent houses in colonial New England, built in the Georgian tradition. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the tour that we had was simply marvelous (for only $10 for the two of us).
