Hello LincolnTalk I'm trying to gather materials for a video about the Pierce House: its history and architecture, as well as its use for town events and as a venue. The intended audience for this video is Lincoln residents. It's possible that it could become part of a series (with a name like "Portraits of Lincoln"), whose goal is to provide a simple appreciation of some of the places and people of Lincoln, including town employees.
I'd thought that Pierce House materials would be abundant and easy to get hold of, but it hasn't turned out that way. Despite the great efforts of town archivist Virginia Rundell, and help from Jim Cunningham, Lincoln A/V, PH Director Victoria Otis, former PH manager Richard Silver, Pierce House committee member Gus Browne and chair Terry Green, and from Lincoln Historical Society president Sara Mattes, and town historian Jack MacLean, I still have a ways to go. This is a request for any photographs (or film/videos) you may have that help "tell the story" of the Pierce House history. This would include (but not be limited to) photographs of the property: - prior to construction (Jack has provided one that may work but more are welcome); - with the house under construction; - in use by the Pierce family (including the barn); and - in use by the Town prior to establishment of the park. Please respond back directly to me if you have anything you think could help. Many thanks. Geoff Hargreaves-Heald
