Newburyport, MA - Disney Trash Water
Welcome to Newburyport, MA, birthplace of the US Coast Guard (no matter what the Coast Historians Office says)! Settled in 1635 as part of Newberry Plantation, it is located on the southern bank of the Merrimack River where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. A once bustling port, it was part of the triangular trade system, importing West Indian molasses and exporting rum made in distilleries located around Market Square. Join us as we explore a few local stories in this historic coastal city.
