The Whittier Home Association invites you to join us for our 6th Annual John Greenleaf Whittier Celebration, to be held on Saturday, September 19, 7:00 – 8:00 pm at the historic Friends Meetinghouse, 120 Friend Street, Amesbury.
In honor of the the Civil War Sesquicentennial award-winning storyteller Susan Lenoe will portray Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin and friend to John Greenleaf Whittier.
The evening will be dedicated to Jon “Ben” Pickard, Whittier scholar, great-grand-nephew of John Greenleaf Whittier, and longtime friend and supporter of the Whittier Home. Ben Pickard passed away on Aug. 19, 2015.
