About the Bradstreet Project:

The Bradstreet Project, located in North Andover, MA and established in 2019, has re-discovered the two 17th century homes of foundational American poet Anne Bradstreet and her husband Simon Bradstreet (later governor of Massachusetts). After using dendrochronology to positively identify the still-standing partial remnants of the Bradstreet’s 1667/1668 home, the project set its sights on locating the archaeological remains of their earlier home that was memorialized in Anne’s poem Verses Upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666. Succeeding in this mission in the fall of 2023, excavations will continue in 2024 to further document the site.
