Black History Walk
Whittier Hill Reservation
Summer 2022
Led by a Northeastern University PhD student
Join Greenbelt for this History Walk on Whittier Hill.
Prior to English settlement, the Whittier Hill area in Amesbury and other sites in the Powwow River watershed were homelands of the Pentucket, a branch of the Pennacook-Abenaki people of the lower Merrimack Valley in New Hampshire.
Whittier Hill is named for Thomas Whittier who sailed for America in 1638, though it was pronounced Whitcher Hill by locals from the early years of Amesbury.
Thomas Whittier’s great-grandson, America’s "Quaker Poet" and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whitter, lived in a home below the hill for 56 years.
