The Sarah Orne Jewett Library
Come away for a little while to the villages, islands, fields, and fir-lined shores of Sarah Orne Jewett’s New England. The Sarah Orne Jewett Library presents her stories and novels read in full: tender portraits of friendship, solitude, country life, and the small histories that linger in old houses and quiet harbors. Settle in, and listen to a world where every path, parlor, and salt meadow seems to have a story waiting to be told.
