Thousands Rally For the Pink House

We heard that Congressman Moulton's office and Parker River Refuge Manager Matt Hillman thought things had "died down" when it came to public reaction to his proposed demolition of The iconic Pink House. Matt says he also believes there is a silent majority who want to see it taken down. 

This week proved that wrong. 

News of a Pink House Rally went viral, spreading through not just our Newsletter and Social Media, but through other town pages, to Theater in the Open and the Newburyport Preservation Trust, to event invites to several private newsletters.

We got an influx of new Followers, inquires, letters with suggestions and offers to help, and it launched a series of Letters to the Editor of the Daily News, as well front page stories on the Town Common for the last 3 weeks. 

​Thousands of people are certainly awake and paying attention, just as we believe The Pink House will be listed for Auction - a process which can still be stopped. 

This rally served to put elected officials, The US Fish and Wildlife Service and Matt Hillman on notice.
