She is a trans writer of fiction and nonfiction living in Brooklyn\, Lenapehoking\, where she pursues a degree in library information science.\n \n \n \n \n \n About the Book:\nThe Tears of Other People is an attempt by author E. M. Ippolito to make sense of her alienation from her hometown of Portsmouth\, New Hampshire. Both local history and personal memoir\, the book explores the history of discriminatory programs on the New Hampshire seacoast\, from gentrification to European colonization\, charting personal and political connections across decades of urban change. Dispossession has an infamous history on the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront\, where in the 1960s a colonial museum called Strawbery Banke displaced the working-class neighborhood of Puddle Dock.

She has performed with her husband\, Fred Gosbee\, as the duo Castlebay for 30 years throughout the Eastern US\, British Isles\, Ireland\, and Scotland. In addition to his musical expertise\, Gosbee is a skilled luthier\, having designed and built Celtic harps\, guitars\, and lutes. Several years ago\, Cabot Lyford gifted the couple with a carved female figurehead to be placed on the pillar of one of Gosbee’s harps. Lyford passed away in 2016 before Fred could design and build a harp big enough to accommodate the sculpture. This past spring\, coinciding with what would have been Cabot’s 100th birthday\, the harp was completed and\, after settling into its final form\, is ready to be played in honor of the sculptor. \n \nJoin Julia for a short presentation at both noon and 5:30pm about the instrument and then listen as she brings it to life playing music as people enjoy a spectrum of art from Cabot’s extraordinary career. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Add the 12:00 pm curator tour to your calendar\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Don’t forget about our free curator tours!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May 2026"Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 12:00 pm "Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 5:30 pm June 2026Curator Tour "Revolutionary Portsmouth"June 5\, 2026 12:00 pm URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/art-aug-2025/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Welcome Center & Museum Shop Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/New-ART-Logo-Art-Round-Town.webp GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250711T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250711T200000 DTSTAMP:20260424T015654 CREATED:20250603T195527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250603T195534Z UID:10000529-1752253200-1752264000@portsmouthhistory.org SUMMARY:Art Round Town DESCRIPTION:We’ll be open until 8 p.m. every First Friday for Art ‘Round Town!\nFree admission all day long.\nVisit our most recent exhibition\, “Cabot Lyford: Winds of Change” and view highlights from our permanent collection in our “Past & Present” exhibition. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Add the 12:00 pm curator tour to your calendar\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Don’t forget about our free curator tours!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May 2026"Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 12:00 pm "Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 5:30 pm June 2026Curator Tour "Revolutionary Portsmouth"June 5\, 2026 12:00 pm URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/art-july2025/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Welcome Center & Museum Shop Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Art-Round-Town.png GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250704 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250705 DTSTAMP:20260424T015655 CREATED:20250515T143209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250515T143215Z UID:10000481-1751587200-1751673599@portsmouthhistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Closed- Fourth of July DESCRIPTION:Portsmouth Historical Society Closed 7/4\nBoth the John Paul Jones House and the museum galleries located at 10 Middle Street will be closed on Friday\, July 4 for Independence Day.

He is the historian for the U.S. Lighthouse Society and hosts the Society’s weekly podcast\, “Light Hearted.” He is a past president of the American Lighthouse Foundation and founder of Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses.\n \n \n \n \n \n About the Book:\nPortsmouth Harbor’s 1771 lighthouse was the first lighthouse established in the American colonies north of Boston. A few miles offshore\, a lighthouse was established at the southernmost of the Isles of Shoals in 1821. Inland\, three wooden lighthouses were built on Lake Sunapee in the late 1800s to guide steamships full of vacationers to their destinations around the lake. All of these locations have stories to tell of dedicated keepers and their families\, shipwrecks\, rescues\, and much more.
