Description

The mission of the Buttonwoods Museum / Haverhill Historical Society is to collect and preserve history, and to educate the community about Greater Haverhill's past and culture.
The Museum encompasses three historic buildings (the c. 1710 John Ward House, the c.1814 Duncan House, and the c. 1859 Daniel Hunkin Shoe Shop) as well as three exhibit galleries.
Buttonwoods offers programs for kids and adults on many different topics, including the histories of the Pennacook people and early European settlers, the shoe industry, and more!
