2nd Annual History day A Big Hit In Haverhill; Rain Held Off, Sun Shone
It took hours upon hours of hard work to put together the 2nd Annual History Day that had its midpoint locus on the Haverhill Commons. What an astounding piece of work it was!
But it all paid off for the creators this year, as crowds of visitors came to the North and South Commons and adjacent properties to enjoy a full day of local history, with no rain from an approaching Northeast wind and rainstorm that was barreling up the coast.
Piermont's Old Times Remembered by Senior Residents and Friends
All the stories were about old Piermont, including some folks now long gone who had contributed to the town's unique, close feeling of friendship, assistance, and awesome meals. Back then, just about every home had a barn and a shed and a connector building that housed a family dairy and meat-raising effort, a barn full of winter hay and warm, comfortable homes with jelly closets brimming with sweet preserves, jams, and tender pickles that many folks in Piermont still put up each year when growing season rolls around.
