With an unparalleled collection communicating the New England story, The Historic New England Center in Haverhill is a nexus of arts, culture, industry, and innovation, showcasing New England’s story and inspiring visitors from around the world.

A Bold Vision

The Historic New England Center is a vibrant cultural district taking shape on over three acres in downtown Haverhill. It is located 35 miles north of Boston, adjacent to Amtrak and MBTA Commuter Rail stations. Anchored by two historic factories once called “the largest shoe factories in the world,” it is evolving to include residential, commercial, entertainment, hospitality, retail, and dining spaces.
