SEASONS GREETINGS!
Local photographer Laura Kozlowski has kindly allowed us to use her beautiful Amesbury photo to celebrate the season.
Having moved to Amesbury over a year ago, she has enjoyed the natural beauty that surrounds this city. This image is during the 2020 October snow storm on the Merrimack River this year in the Point Shore area.

Our Driving Through History event held the night before the Carriagetown Car show was quite a blast. Over 100 people gathered at Amesbury Chevrolet and spent a friendly few hours together. The event was a great success. Most importantly - people had a very good time. And secondly - thanks to the many generous donations - our auction raised over $6,000 for museum programming! We are so grateful to our supporters, the many volunteers who helped with the event, to John McInnis for running a fun and lively auction, and to Amesbury Chevrolet for hosting us. Thank you all!
