Part of the Buttonwoods Cache Series! This is 1 of 10 caches placed along the Merrimack River, an easy stroll. Parking is available along any side street. We do NOT recommend you park on main road.
The Buttonwoods Museum is named for the Buttonwoods or sycamore trees planted on the property in the early 1740 by Haverhill's first Irish immigrant, Hugh Tallent. Mr. Tallent worked for the Saltonstall family, who once owned the property. In 1814, the Duncan family, prosperous merchants, built a fine example of a rural Federal style mansion on the site. Mary Duncan Harris gave The Buttonwoods to the Haverhill Historical Society in 1903 and the Museum opened in 1904. The Buttonwoods Museum houses furniture, ceramics, glassware, quilts, dolls and toys. A visit to the Duncan House illustrates the importance of the Merrimack River in trade, commerce and travel.
