Episode 63: Barbara Callahan (Browne House/Historic New England)

from Little Local Conversations · host Matt Hanna

Meet Barbara Callahan! She's the Metro Boston Regional Site Administrator for Historic New England which includes overseeing the oldest house in Watertown, the Browne House on Main Street. In this conversation we talk about Barbara's own journey in managing historical houses in the area, then we dive into some of the history of the Browne family and its earliest history, and the reconstruction of the house in the early 1900s as the first well-documented restoration project in America. Barbara takes me on an audio tour of the 3 floors of the historical house and the very unique barn outside. Visit the Browne House website (still a few tours left this year!)Browne House Facebook pageSupport the showHead on over to www.littlelocalconversations.com to check out all the episodes, events, and everything else going on. Sign up for the Little Local Conversations email newsletter Follow on Instagram: @littlelocalconversationsUpcoming events!
