Local historian leads tours, lectures at Jeremiah Lee Mansion

April 30, 2025 by For The Weekly News

Local historian Judy Anderson will lead a focus tour and lecture at the Jeremiah Lee Mansion May 9 and 10. Anderson will reveal the risky, secret and ultimately fatal activities during the final year of Lee’s life, as he worked behind the scenes to foment a revolution.

Rebel American colonists, including Lee, began taking daring and dangerous actions toward their revolutionary separation from England, which included smuggling weapons on Lee’s merchant ships. Any of Lee’s actions could have sent him to prison or worse. Soon after, the fateful Battle of Lexington and Concord sparked the Revolution and caused his unheralded death just three weeks later.

Anderson is a social and cultural historian and the former curator of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion. She has given talks and led walking tours on Marblehead history for the past 30 years.

Originally from Los Angeles, Anderson earned degrees in history from the University of California, Los Angeles and art history and museum studies from the University of Southern California. She worked as a decorative arts curator for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston before moving to Marblehead in 1992.

Tickets are $10 for museum members and $15 for the public. They can be purchased from the Marblehead Museum website or by calling the museum at 781-631-1768.
