Such a great turnout at the Capital Campaign Launch event at the new site of the Amesbury Industrial History Center plus fundraiser at Flatbread . Congratulations to those who planned and worked at the event. The restaurant was packed plus lots of take-out orders (one by André Dubus.) Here are some photos. Bonnie L. Brady.
Thankyou, Joe Fahey, for the exceptional presentation (Bailey Family Lecture series by the Amesbury Carriage Museum) last night about renovating the Upper Millyard. Lots of humorous stories accompanied the slideshow. Who knew that Governor Dukakis' mother (standing next to him with a shovel at the ground-breaking ceremony) had started her teaching career in Amesbury? For years she kept asking him "How's that project coming along in Amesbury?"
The "before" photographs of Amesbury were a stark reminder to the large audience of the former ugliness of the site and the years it took to complete. Money isn't enough. It takes vision, perseverance and collaboration skills of key people such as Joe, Nick Costello, and the selectmen (to name a few) to achieve the outstanding results we enjoy today in Upper Millyard and our downtown. Looking forward to completion of Carriage Museum projects and further development of the Lower Millyard!

Lots of old carriages in Nashville.....
Beautiful Gray and Davis nickel-plated lamps (made in Amesbury!) spotted on a 1910 Atlas touring car at Springfield History Museum at the “quadrangle”.
As the 1900’s evolved and the automobile quickly became the preferred means of transportation the carriage days quickly faded....

1901 News from “West Amesbury”. Bah humbug. That horseless carriage won’t replace the trusty steed any time soon.....
