On Wednesday, March 23 at 6:30pm, the Nichols House Museum hosts a virtual lecture highlighting the lives of Sarah Orne Jewett and Annie Fields.The self-described 'last wild thing that is left in the fields' Maine author and Boston’s flower of
society might have seemed an unlikely couple to start, but Sarah Orne Jewett and Annie Fields
shared a decades-long, mutually nurturing, and loving relationship.
Including their own words, from letters and diary entries, learn about Sarah Orne Jewett and
Annie Fields, their life together, and the inner circle of New England artists they received “at
home” in Beacon Hill, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and South Berwick, Maine.
Presenter: South Berwick Site Manager Marilyn Keith Daly conceived, researched, wrote, and
collaborated with organizational staff to create the reinterpretation of Historic New England’s
Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum, launched in 2018. With a background in professional
theatre, Marilyn Keith Daly was formerly Education Manager at Canterbury Shaker Village in
New Hampshire. She holds a B.A. from Vassar College and a Master's Degree from Jackson
Center for Creative Writing at Hollins University.
This program will take place virtually via Zoom.
The Nichols House Museum preserves and interprets the 1804 Federal townhouse that was
home to landscape gardener, suffragist and pacifist Rose Standish Nichols and her family. Their
home and its original art and furnishings provide a glimpse into life on historic Beacon Hill from
the mid-19th to mid-20th century.
The museum educates and inspires the public through innovative programs, and it continues the conversation on the social concerns the Nichols family embraced that are still relevant today.
The Nichols House Museum is located at 55 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, MA 02108. Visit
