Haverhill’s Cultural Treasures was formed in 2009 as a collaboration of five non-profit, cultural organizations in the Greater Haverhill area. The member organizations - Winnekenni Castle, Tattersall Farm, Buttonwoods Museum, Whittier Birthplace and Haverhill Firefighting Museum – collectively promote history, science, arts and culture through events and programming.
On Sunday, May 23 we will host a public event –
“Unlock the Magic 2010” to introduce the Cultural Treasures to the Haverhill community.
- It will be a day of simultaneous family events at all Treasure locations culminating in a festive gathering at Winnekenni Castle.
- This celebration will feature entertainment, food, merriment and a grand Treasure Chest of prizes!

Haverhill Firefighting Museum
