Haverhill

Haverhill has served as a shoe-manufacturing centre in Massachusetts’s Merrimack Valley since the nineteenth century. The Merrimack River runs through the city, shaping its downtown and linking it to the former mill towns of northeastern Massachusetts. Footwear factories once made Haverhill a major American producer, and brick industrial buildings still recall that period along the river. Poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier was born here; his birthplace is preserved as a historic house museum.
