Comments:   I was born in Haverhill in 1947.I was a graduate of Haverhill High, class of 1965. I miss Haverhill very much and constantly remember my friends of that time. Tonight is a cool fall evening here in South Carolina. I hear children playing outside in the leaves as I type. Tonight is a reminder of those same types of nights in Bradford. I miss Haverhill, you could burn leaves then and I like the smell.

Comments:   I lived in Haverhill until 1993. Went off to study
at the University of Arizona. I wish that you were more
careful in how you present the facts of Hannah Dustin.
She did not kill 10 "captors". The children were
not her captors. Why is it so difficult to just state
facts of her abduction as they are known and let
each person decide for themselves if her actions were
heroic. Her actual abductors left her behind with
members of their tribe. These were "Praying"
Indians. It is also interesting to note that they
had relative freedom to move about and that Samual
Lennardson had access to weapons. The people Hannah killed
were two old men, women and children.
Note: I went the University of Arizona to study
American Indian Studies.

Comments:   I enjoyed your site very much. I was born in Haverhill in 1936 and attended Groveland St., Crowell, Smiley schools and graduated Haverhill High in 1954. My father had a Dairy Queen and clam stand at the corner of Groveland St. and Lincoln Ave. He sold it in 1955 and we moved to Rochester, NH and he opened a Drive-In Resturant in Rochester. I had a great childhood in Riverside. At one time we lived on Coffin Ave. (on the river by Groveland Bridge. We could hear the roaring sounds of Pines Speedway when they had the midget car races.
I remember my sister and I taking dance lessons from Doris Caffrey and the recitals that were held at the Colonial theater. What a beautiful place that was, There was an orchestra pit and box seats on each side. What a shame that was torn down. The recitals were like Broadway productions with an orchestra and lots of scenery. We even had to put some kind of white stuff on us for the lighting I think.
I remember they closed off one of the streets Off Lincoln Ave. so the kids could slide down the hill. I can't remember but there must have been sand or something at the bottom to stop us. It seems that kids had much more to so back then to keep out of trouble.
A few years ago, I made a wedding cake for my neice and attended her wedding at Winnikinni Castle. It was a thrill for me to be in the castle as I had often just seen it from the road when it had a lit cross on it at Christmas time and I wondered what it must be like. My mother-in-law had a farm on Kenoza St. that had a big hill in back boardering Winnikinni Park. From the top of the hill you can see Groveland and West Newberry, it's a beautiful sight.
I hope more people that lived in Haverhill find your site and write in. Keep up the good work.

Comments:   I have it on good authority that I descended from Hannah Duston. We visited another statue of her in New Hampshire a couple of summers ago on a trip to Lake Winnapausakee. Great web site. I'd love to visit sometime soon. If anyone has any geneology of Hannah's and Thomas's children, I'd love to hear from you.

Comments:   What a dump haverhill is. I lived there for five years and all it had to offer was cocaine booze and really cheap whores. The whole place should be leveled and turned inot a parking lot. Why waste cyberspace with a dump like this. Haverhill was probably a nice place in the 18th century, I can assure you that it is a hellhole currently! WHAT A DUMP

Comments:   I am the 13th generation of Samuel Guile who was one of the twelve settlers of Haverhill. I have never visited the city but after reading the home page and viewing the pictures I must make it a priority on my schedule. I would like to find my distant grandfather's grave site and other relatives that stayed in Haverhill. Samuel's son John migrated to R.I. and then on to CT where I presently reside.

Comments:   Can someone please tell me what the story is with the "old" Woolworth building on White's Corner? Woolworth closed that store down around 1953-55 and I see that it is still closed! I would think that the city would have bought it or taken it by emmnent domain and torn it down to as the starting point of a "Riverside Park".
I've long held the position that Haverhill should have restricted building/renovations on the river side of Merrimack St and developed the land aside as a city park. You have one of the most beautiful rivers in the country and you hide it behind vacant buildings!

High School football games and the long walk down to the stadium from where I lived on Mt. Washington. Great place to grow up. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who remembers those "good old days".

Comments:   Hey Dave, you are partially correct. Haverhill is a great place for Republicans, but, especially those who won't spend any of that Republican Money. The Republicans COULD HAVE taken great pride in the saving of Bradford College by spending some of their money. But, the college is gone and they still have their money!!

Comments:   I GREW UP IN HAVERHILL. GRADUATED HAVERHILL HIGH SCHOOL IN 1978. THERE ARE SOME VERY BEAUTIFUL AREAS OF HAVERHILL. I WISH THE PICTURES WERE LIGHTER SO DETAILS COULD BE SEEN AND THE HISTORIES INCLUDED. THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN WAS THE FIRST MAYOR OF HAVERHILL'S HOUSE. ONE BELVIDERE RD. THERE'S ALOT OF HISTORY IN HAVERHILL. LIKE WHO WAS HANNAH DUSTON AND WHY SHE SCALPED 10+ INDIANS? THESE ARE EXTREMELY INTERESTING FACTS. I BASED MY GRADE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL REPORTS ON THE EVENTS OF HAVERHILL. I SPENT ALOT OF TIME AT THE LIBRARY AND WAS VERY INTRIGUED. EDITOR PLEASE DO THIS CITY JUSTICE. THERE IS SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. IE: WHY HAS WINNEKINNE CASTLE NOT BEEN RESTORED. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. ANY FORMER CLASSMATES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. CYA, WENDY
