    About Us

    Our History

    Our Property

    Our History

    Citizens of Bourne became preservation conscious when the Briggs-McDermott House was scheduled for demolition in May of 1979.  BSHP successfully restored the house to reflect the 1840-1910 period and were able to get it recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. 

    Our Mission
