Join The Gables as we welcome Rodney Rowland, Director of Facilities and Environmental Sustainability at Strawbery Banke Museum, for a discussion of some of the greatest threats to Strawbery Banke and how they are being addressed. Strawbery Banke, much like The Gables, is a waterfront campus of historic properties, placing it in a high-risk area for impacts of sea level rise. The museum has been working with the city of Portsmouth, NH, University of New Hampshire, and other colleagues and experts in the climate change and historical preservation fields to assess risk and design adaptation to mitigate potential damage. There is a great deal The Gables – and the city of Salem – can learn from our colleagues in Portsmouth.
This event is free, but registration is required.
