Marblehead Museum 1768 Jeremiah Lee Brick Kitchen Grand Opening With Pitch, Please! Performing

MARBLEHEAD, MA — The Marblehead Museum will host a special gala to celebrate the $1.4 million renovation and preservation of the 1768 Jeremiah Lee Brick Kitchen.

The kitchen is part of the historic Lee Manion and Gardens, with The Brick Kitchen a detached building that formerly housed a kitchen for the 18th-century Georgian estate. The kitchen has been turned into an exhibition space, office and archive, allowing visitors to gain deeper insight into Marblehead's diverse past.

The renovation began in 2021.
