![Summer Internship at The Sargent House Museum [The Sargent House Museum, Gloucester, MA ]](https://sites.tufts.edu/museumstudents/wp-content/themes/kale/sample/images/full3.jpg)
The Sargent House Museum is an 18th century historic house museum founded to engage the public in the life and times of Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820), a Gloucester resident who was one of America’s first women writers and a pioneering advocate for women’s education and equality. The house holds an impressive collection of furniture, decorative arts, architecture and paintings from the 19th and 18th centuries, including works of world-renowned artist John Singer Sargent, a descendant of Judith Sargent Murray’s family. The museum and its gorgeous gardens and grounds are located in the center of downtown Gloucester.
Interns in our program can expect to learn about a fascinating period in America’s history and about the extraordinary contributions and life of Judith Sargent Murray. They will also learn the inner workings of a small historic house museum. Interns will meet with the museum staff during orientation to help them focus on an area of interest.
