Our Executive Director and The Muffin Shop were featured on WBZ yesterday talking about (and baking) Marblehead's iconic Joe Frogger cookies. Perfected in the early 19th century by locally-renowned Black baker, Lucretia Brown, the molasses cookies were likely named about her husband, Revolutionary War veteran, tavern keeper, and formerly enslaved man of both African and Indigenous descent, Joseph Brown.

It's insulation day at the Jeremiah Lee Brick Kitchen! Modern spray foam is the most energy-efficient option to insulate our roof. However, when preserving an historic building, you never want to do anything that is irreversible or hides forever the original features. So, we took great care to wrap the 1768 roofing timbers before insulating so, if future generations want to reveal and study the original timbers, they can pull the wrap and insulation right off. This work is generously funded by a Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Service and many generous donations by the community. Thanks to the crew of Joel White Construction, Inc. and our architect, Bruce Greenwald, for coming up with this ingenious solution.
