Upcoming Events
She Devils at the Door tells the true story of two formidable sisters, Lucy and Eliza Kennedy, who came of age in Gilded Age Pittsburgh, and became leaders of the suffrage movement. After women won the vote in 1920, they spent 40 years fighting corruption in local government.
An enthusiastic storyteller, Eliza has given lectures and tours for organizations such as the Smithsonian, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Frick Art & Historical Center, the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Carnegie Mellon University, and The Colonial Dames.
Discover the mental benefits of doodling in the Memorial Garden. Cara shares the research behind mindful drawing and its mental health benefits. From there, she leads doodling exercises and gives us the chance to try different activities and notice how it impacts our feelings.
Bring a clipboard and pencil, if you have one you like. If not, we’ll have them ready for you. Registration for this event will open in May.

The Sippican Historical Society was founded in 1963 for the purpose of fostering interest in the history of Marion, encouraging historical research and writing, and establishing a museum to preserve and display artifacts, documents, and artwork pertaining to the town. The museum and society are housed in the historic Walton Nye Ellis house at the corner of Main and Front Streets in Marion.
