If you assumed the reason these portraits hang prominently in the is because the man and woman were residents of our town, you’d be right. (We'll tell you more about them in future posts....)

However, there’s another reason these paintings are significant.

Do you know why that is?

UPDATE! Thank you to everyone who answered. Rebecca Addison had it! The artist who painted these portraits was Erastus Salisbury Field, an American Folk Painter, who was born in Leverett and lived the last 50 years of his life in the Plumtrees in Sunderland.

We'll be posting more about the man and woman in the portraits this week so stay tuned. And in September Swampfield Historical Society with Sunderland Public Library will be hosting a presentation about Field.
