George Peabody House Museum One of the city's hidden jewels

Museum Staff


Merritt Kirkpatrick, Curator

Merritt joins us from Memphis, Tennessee. She has worked in several museums all over the eastern half of the United States. She is very excited about joining the museum as George has been an interest of hers for quite a while. She also is ecstatic about the opening of our new museum.

Rosemary O'Brien, Registrar

Rosemary has been with the museum for over twelve years, first as a volunteer then as a staff member. She first became interested in history through researching her family history. She enjoys working at the museum because she enjoys learning about George Peabody as well as the city of Peabody, where she has lived almost her entire life.
