Peabody Essex Museum

Well, I want to say that I really enjoyed the trolley.

And one of my favorite things was seeing things like the Clue House, which is officially owned now by the Peabody Essex Museum.

The Parker

Brothers, who started Clue and Monopoly.

In 1864, he became director of the Museum of the Essex Institute, and three years later was made superintendent of the East Indian Marine Society's museum.

And when the Peabody Academy of Science was established, he was made director of the academy.

In 1873, he was elected permanent secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

In 1874, he was appointed member of the Kentucky Geological Survey for the Special Investigation of the Caves of that State.

Harvard the same for a museum of archaeology and ethnology.

To found the Peabody Academy of Science at Salem a hundred and forty thousand dollars.

To Newburyport Library, where the fire threw him out of employment, and thus probably broadened his path in life, fifteen thousand dollars.

Twenty-five thousand dollars each to various institutions of learning throughout the country.

The show is in Athens through January 3rd, 2027.

A valuable catalog was published by the Peabody Essex Museum, where the show originated, and the GMOA.

Amazon and Bookshop offer it for between $50 and $55.
