Haverhill Library Association

We are excited to confirm that the planning is underway for the 2nd Annual History Day, an event dedicated to celebrating our founding in 1763, and the people, traditions, and milestones that have shaped our town.

 

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, and we hope you will join HLA, HHI, HHS, and the First Congregational Church of Haverhill to make this 2nd year even more exciting and educational than the inaugural.

 

We plan to include history talks on the following:

As well, residents dressed in period costumes (all are welcome to participate), horse and wagon rides, historic home tours, traditional crafts, music, and exhibits at the historic Alumni Hall, Wentworth Brown House, the First Congregational Church of Haverhill, and Haverhill Academy.

 

It is the one time each year when our entire community can come together to bring the past to life in a way that is both educational and genuinely heartwarming.

We will be working over the next several months to obtain additional long-timer interviews and solicit participation from the local schools and libraries and demonstrators (like weavers, broom makers, etc.).

How you can help:

1) Seeking any additional Stagecoach information that you may have or know about

2) Seeking demonstrators for weaving, broom making, rug hooking, clothing, etc.

3) Seeking period costume wearers

4) Seeking participation from the local schools and libraries

5) Spread the word about the date and needs

 

And of course, volunteers will be appreciated the day of for anyone interested in getting involved. Please feel free to contact the library at 603-989-5578; mail@haverhilllibrary.org if you would like additional details.

 

As always, thank you all for everything you do for our beautiful and historic community. You are what makes this such a special place to live!
