Comment by Julie Arrison on August 28, 2009 at 2:04pm: The Phillips House will be working on some oral history collection at an event we are holding in September. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to join us or would like to know how the event went. Details are below, but the event is posted here, on the Salem History Society Common, and on the North of Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau website.

Historic New England's Phillips House invites you to celebrate the Year of the Kitchen at the Salem History Society Open House.

Please bring your favorite kitchen picutures and stories to add to Historic New England's collections. A scanning station and oral history booth will be set up so that YOU can become a part the collection!

The Phillips House will also offer:
Gadgets and Gizmos Kitchen Tour at 6:15 PM
Light refreshments and wine from Salem Wine Imports
A 10% discount on Year of the Kitchen merchandise for Salem History Society members
A 20% discount on Year of the Kitchen merchandise for members of both Historic New England and the Salem History Society
$10.00 off new or renewed Historic New England membership

Please call 978-744-0440 or email jarrison@historicnewengland.org if you can join us.
