History
In 1781, the house was built as the first brick mansion in Beverly,[1] for shipowner and privateer Capt. John Cabot (b. 1745 in Salem to Joseph Cabot and Elizabeth Higginson).[2] Cabot had also cofounded Beverly Cotton Manufactory, America's first cotton mill.[3]
In 1802, the house became the first office of the Beverly Bank,[1] the tenth oldest bank in America, with Capt. John Cabot serving as one of seven original directors.
Besides period rooms, the John Cabot House features maritime, military, and children's exhibits as well as major changing exhibits. The society's research facilities are also located here.
