"And the well I promised by Oman's Sea, I am digging for him in Amesbury. His kindred wept, and the neighbors said: "The poor old captain is out of his head."- The Captain's Well, John Greenleaf Whittier
Amesbury is a wonderful New England town nestled between the mighty Merrimack River and the state of New Hampshire. The town was settled as early as 1642. Through the years, Amesbury morphed from a rural farming community into a mill town, one of many on the Merrimack. In its day, the town became famous for the production of carriages (the horse-drawn type) and later automobile bodies. The mill days came to an end with the Great Depression, but the beautiful mill buildings still stand in the downtown area and near the river.
Sitting at the crossroads of Interstates 495 and 95, living in Amesbury makes it pretty easy to shoot down to Boston, about 45 minutes away, or up to the beaches of New Hampshire and Maine
