Item Special Note
A native of Newburyport, Ghlee E. Woodworth is a twelfth-generation descendant of Robert Adams, one of the first settlers of Newbury.
In 2006, following in the footsteps of her father, local historian Todd C. Woodworth (1921-2006), Ghlee carried on the tradition of conducting the Oak Hill Cemetery tours he had given since 1988, "Tiptoe Through the Tombstones." She also leads tours of Newburyport's Old Hill Burying Ground, Highland Cemetery, African American history and the abolitionist movement.
A member of the Board of Trustees of Oak Hill Cemetery, Ghlee is the manager of its heritage tree, gravestone, and chapel restoration projects. Having trained in gravestone restoration, Ghlee and other volunteers have repaired over 1400 gravestones in Old Hill Burying Ground and Oak Hill Cemetery. Ghlee has also researched and managed history projects for Newburyport City Hall. For her efforts, she received a Preservation Award for Stewardship from the Newburyport Preservation Trust in May 2011.
Ghlee's first book, Tiptoe Through the Tombstones, Oak Hill Cemetery, about the lives of eighty individuals who made significant contributions to the Newburyport community during the 1800s, was published in 2009 and has won a number of awards.
