Alternate Members … 3 openings

On June 19th, 2009, the kiosk was installed. It was donated by HHC to the Railroad Park. The Kiosk was built by Tom Mayo and is a very well built structure that will contain information about the park, it’s activities and history, as well as future plans. Unfortunately the installation had a bit of a problem when the auger hit the power line to the stage.

But, with perseverance, the structure rose and will be a nice welcome to everyone visiting the park, in the future. Unfortunately a concert was planned for that evening. The Strawberry Farm Band, quickly adjusted to having no electricity, and an acoustical concert was enjoyed by all who attended.

Long time commission member Shirley Page Cobb resigned after serving many years on Haverhill Heritage Commission. Her knowledge and attention to detail was greatly appreciated.

Haverhill Heritage is also involved in other historical preservations and the commissions minutes are available to the public at:
