542 North Broadway
Haverhill, Massachusetts

History:
The Tattersall Farm was owned and operated by the Tattersall family for a substantial portion of the twentieth century. The surviving family member, Mary Alice Tattersall, died in 1999, and in her Will entrusted her family's 150-acre farm to the City of Haverhill, imposing specific conservation and open space preservation restrictions to this gift so that the Tattersall Farm would be preserved and maintained in as close to its present state of condition as possible. At the same time, she granted the Farm's managerial rights to the Tattersall Farm Charitable Foundation Trust, which is obligated to preserve the Tattersall Farm, to protect its wildlife and conservation interests, and to inform and educate persons on matters relating to farming and environmental conservation.

The Tattersall Farm offers 19th century plantings, working hayfields, rolling meadows, and wooded paths used for walking, jogging and cross-country skiing.

The Whittier Homestead is an outstanding example of the old New England farm and has been operated as such, without interruption, since the beginning. Its charm lies in the simple and homely atmosphere which has surrounded it since colonial days. The house itself, located on its original site, is substantially the same as when the poet lived here from 1807 until 1836, and is the setting of his most famous and beloved poem, Snow-Bound.
