Located at 205 Washington Street in Peabody, Massachusetts, the George Peabody House Museum is a preservation of American history. Within its walls back in 1795, George Peabody was born in what was then South Danvers.
International merchant and financier, benefactor of numerous philanthropies both in the United States and in England, first American named honorary citizen of London, George Peabody never departed from the principles of frugality and humility on which he was reared.
The George Peabody House Museum celebrates the life and deeds of this amazing man. It is dedicated to preserving the legacy of him and of the history of Peabody's leather industry. |
