Why you'd want to live in Amesbury

Steeped in innovation, entrepreneurship and art, Amesbury has a revitalized downtown with old mill buildings that are now home to restaurants, shops, residences, businesses, and artist studios. Victorian homes, museums and sites showcase more than 350 years of history. Amesbury, incorporated in 1668, was once a leader in carriage manufacturing, hats, and home to the oldest operating boat shop in America (1793). Nature is front and center as the Powwow River flows through the center of town with tons of green space, parks, recreations areas, farms and a beautiful, paved Riverwalk for pedestrians and cyclists.
