On the Methuen Rail Trail

Partnership Grant Spotlight
Utilizing Essex Heritage Partnership Grant funds, the
Methuen Rail Trail Alliance constructed a wooden kiosk alongside to the community's 2.4 mile long rail trail which connects the cities of Lawrence, MA and Salem N.H. Located adjacent to the city's historic train depot, the kiosk enhances the trail's gateway entrance by providing visitors with historical information about the rich history of the railroad and the surrounding downtown.

Clap Your Hands for the Hand Tub House!
|
|
|
Kudos to the Rocks Village Memorial Association and their preservation of the Hand Tub House! Essex Heritage Trustee and Haverhill City Councilor Tom Sullivan invited Essex Heritage CEO Annie Harris to visit the restoration project last Friday where she was impressed to see how much has been accomplished by this entirely volunteer organization. They raised over $80,000 to restore the historic tub house and meeting hall dating from the 1830s, but there is more to be done. The goal is to create a museum on the first floor of the property and restore the meeting room on the second floor.
Learn more about historic Rocks Village and what a "hand tub house" is.

Future Leaders Update
Essex Heritage's Future Leaders program completed its eight year as of August 31, finishing off an incredibly productive summer of working at the local National Parks as well as Bakers Island Light Station! The youth spent the summer developing skills in carpentry, electricity, grounds maintenance, ship carpentry, and sign making, with a specialized corps focused on museum work. They ended their summer cutting, gilding and installing signs at Bakers Island Light Station to mark the trails, historic buildings, and sites of historic significance.
