The new JCH Newsletter is here!

Hot off the (virtual) presses, the latest issue of the Jonathan Clark House Newsletter is here! Seven pages of JCH news, announcements, and photographs, recalling some of our summer 2025 activities and looking ahead to Fall at the Clark House. And fortunately for us—living in the 21st-century—no hand-typesetting, manual printing, or acid baths for copperplate engravings were required.

For all the details, and your own pdf copy of the new newsletter, click “Continue reading”…

Here ya go…

For your own copy of the complete newsletter, just click this link. A new window will open with a pdf that you can read online and/or save to your device and enjoy at your leisure.

Did you get your newsletter already?

If you are already a subscriber to the Jonathan Clark House Museum email mailing list (which is completely separate from the Clark House Historian subscriber list), you should have received an email copy of the newsletter with your September 3rd emails. If you didn’t get that, check your email’s Spam or Junk folder and see if an over-zealous spam filter grabbed your newsletter by accident.

And if you haven’t subscribed to the Jonathan Clark House mailing list, why not? Get all the JCH news and updates by sending an email to info@jonathanclarkhouse.org. Ask them to add your name and email address to the JCH mailing list, and tell them “Clark House Historian sent me.”

Note that new JCH email…

While you’re at it, please note that the Jonathan Clark House is transitioning to a new email address. Please add info@jonathanclarkhouse.org to your contact list so that future JCH emails and newsletters will get through to your email inbox and not be mis-directed to junk mail purgatory.

And no worries, our original email address jchmuseum@gmail.com still works great, and should remain on your approved contact list(s) for the indefinite future.

Speaking of email subscribers…

As I mentioned above, the Friends of the Jonathan Clark House (the museum) and Clark House Historian (this blog) are two separate entities. This blog supports the work of the JCH, but is a completely independent project that I created and maintain. If you’d like to get the latest Clark House Historian blog news and announcements, I encourage you to subscribe to the CHH mailing list. It’s free, and all you have to do is look around any CHH page and locate this bit:

Then type your email where it says (you guessed it!) “Type your email…” and then click the black “Subscribe” button. That’s all there is to it!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your support. Back soon with more Clark House History.
