Enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the Merrimack River, then wander through the historic Hand Tub House and the Toll House Museum at your own pace. Try to imagine what life was like here two hundred years ago. The Hand Tub House has been a central figure of the Rocks Village district since it was constructed in 1829. It was an early firehouse, and originally housed a manually operated firefighting pump. This public building has been used throughout its existence as a firehouse, community center, meeting space, and as part of a museum.
Rocks Village and John Greenleaf Whittier Birthplace
Lydia Harris and Susan Bailey of the Rocks Village Memorial Association
discuss “A History of the Rocks Village Neighborhood in Haverhill”
during the March edition of Whittier Birthplace’s Virtual Lecture
Series.
Harris and Bailey talk about connecting Whittier to Rocks Village
through the poem, “The Countess.” Topics include Dr. Weld; the countess
herself; the De Poyens; Blacksmiths; witches; toll keepers, the ferry,
the bridge, taverns, churches and the Merrimack River. Some myths will
be also highlighted and claims disputed.
The lecture takes place Thursday, March 28, from 7-8 p.m., online. There
is a suggested donation of $10 per household. There’s more at
