Thanks to a new preservation easement, the Ames Gate Lodge is the first H.H. Richardson property protected by Historic New England. Historic New England partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and its Museum on Main Street program to bring a photography exhibition, The Way We Worked, to all six New England states. Comprising photos from the National Archives, The Way We Worked charts the history of work in American culture. Historic New England collaborated with more than a dozen venues, from the Vermont Granite Museum to the New Haven Public Library in Connecticut, to draw a large public audience to the exhibit.
