The Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce, Creative Haverhill and five of the city’s historic sites are having a second public annual trolley tour Thursday, Aug. 18, from 5 to 9 p.m.
Chartered, old-fashioned trolleys will greet passengers at Tattersall Farm, 542 North Broadway, then lead riders on a sightseeing tour with stops including Haverhill Firefighting Museum, Winnekenni Castle, John Greenleaf Whittier Birthplace and Buttonwoods Museum before returning to Tattersall, according to the chamber. Food and beverage from local establishments will be available at each stop. It is open to chamber members and residents.
“Haverhill has always had and continues to provide great tourism sites, with plenty of historic and culturally rich places to visit with a large number of knowledgeable people to speak about the importance of each location. Many lifelong residents have not seen all the historic places, individually or together – so this event offers a fun and relaxed way to take them all in at one time,” a statement reads.
Tickets are $30 and may be purchased at the chamber, 80 Merrimack St., Haverhill, or online at haverhillchamber.com. Reservations are required due to limited space.
