Volunteer
Historic Beverly needs your help!
We have three wonderful sites and an extraordinary museum collection, but a very small staff. If you can give us a few hours each month, we have some work for you. Ongoing projects will be posted here. Information on additional projects will be sent by email. You will receive our gratitude (and refreshments) for your efforts.
Please let us know when you’d like to help by submitting a volunteer application HERE, or calling 978-922-1186.

These papers provide vital information on the history of Beverly and the American Revolution and tell the stories of other important maritime communities along the east coast.
