The Last Accusation: Wenham Museum Night
Our host for the evening: Nat Pulsifer, a financial advisor at Pulsifer & Associates, has always been a great supporter of the arts and served on numerous boards, charities, organizations, and town committees. He and his wife, Holly, live in Ipswich. Nat served as Chairman of the town’s 375th Anniversary celebration in 2009. As an avid singer, our first opportunity to work together on stage was when he graced our artistic team’s production of Mary Poppins with Stage284 in 2015 as the Bank Chairman.

Our guest for the evening: Jane Bowers is the Exhibitions Curator and Manager at the Wenham Museum. She grew up on Massachusetts' South Shore. Bowers studied modern and contemporary art history in graduate school at UMass Amherst. Beginning with her first job out of grad school her career trajectory took her towards history museums. This includes colonial American life and history. The 17th century Clalfin-Gerrish-Richards house at the Wenham Museum, which she now has the responsibility of interpreting, has been an especially interesting project. Its stories are not particularly well known—although Bowers is working to change that—but they are far more important than she realized when she first took on the task of learning and educating others about them.
