Trailblazing Women in the American Revolution

Travel through time with the Jeremiah Lee Mansion in Marblehead! Meghan Boehmer, an historical interpreter from the Boston Tea Party Museum, will portray Sarah Griste Mugford, the wife of Revolutionary naval hero James Mugford.

Boehmer will illustrate the role of women during the Revolution. Visitors will discover how Sarah took charge of her life as a young widow after Mugford’s death in 1776, at a time when a woman’s sphere was limited to home and family. A free tour of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion is included with this program.

*Tours leave every hour on the hour.
