Mapping Marblehead: From Founding to Freedom
Join Marblehead Historical Commissioners Pam Peterson, Chris Johnston and David Krathwohl to learn about Marblehead history through maps. Marblehead is a town that is unusually rich in history. With five centuries of stories to tell, this is just the beginning. Maps from the 17th and 18th centuries set the framework for the town and its development. The 17th century founding of a small fishing settlement laid the groundwork for a stable governing body and a strong economy. This foundation allowed the town to grow and prosper in the 18th century, becoming independent and strong enough to be a part of the creation of the new United States.
