Online Event - Finding Anne Bradstreet: Groundbreaking Research Into the Poet's Home (Partnership of Historic Bostons)
For centuries, historians, archaeologists, and the curious public have sought to locate the remnants of the Bradstreets’ North Andover homes. Using modern methods including dendrochronology and ground penetrating radar, while building on the work of those before us, archaeologist Donald Slater and English professor Christy Pottroff believe they have discovered the remains of both Bradstreet houses - the burned foundation of the home destroyed by fire, as well as elements of the second replacement house, which still stands on the property today. Renowned historian Emerson “Tad” Baker joins them.
