Explore Amesbury - Textile Manufacturing

Hello kids, families, and friends,

The Amesbury Carriage Museum is excited to share our fourth edition of Youth and Family e-news – Explore Amesbury.

Once a month, we offer an Activity Guide with an article and activities of interest to children, families, and friends. Our focus is on the people and places of Amesbury, centering on our historic Millyard.

In better times, many of us enjoy walking through downtown Amesbury to visit our shops, gather with friends, or stop for a bite to eat. During these difficult times, we hope that our small contribution will give your family something new to learn and do. We hope that you will print our guide and visit an Amesbury landmark. We hope that you’ll follow up with some of the activity choices we’ve shared.

This edition features a visit to Amesbury’s historic upper millyard to learn about textile manufacturing. We hope you’ll learn a bit about this familiar location with an extraordinary history.

Your friends,
Youth & Family Volunteer Committee
