Throughout the three-year project, Marblehead Museum will present a series of exhibits that highlight important 20th-century themes and help to spur memory-sharing.

Exhibits may include occupations on the waterfront; neighborhoods; religious organizations; farming; and schools and growing up in town.

If you have any exhibit ideas or artifacts you think we might want to include in an exhibit, please email us.
