This is the Peak House in Medfield, MA: a rare vernacular home—how everyday people lived, not the fancy “museum mansion” version of history. Homes like this almost never survive. And the museum’s exhibits are surprisingly engaging + interactive. peakhouseheritagecenter.org #history #medfieldma

When a bound volume of #1920s newspapers got wet, we froze it to prevent mould developing until we had the time and space to dry it out properly. As the wet pages felt slightly tacky we had to interleave them with dry sheets, so they wouldn’t all stick together in the freezer.
