Event Description

You are invited to explore the Tenney Gatehouse. Now home to the Methuen Historical Society, the gatehouse was a c.1830 farmhouse remodeled to become the entry point to Grey Court, Charles Tenney's rolling estate. The gatehouse serves as a monument to Methuen’s fathers of industry, housing thoughtfully displayed heirlooms and images that chronicle Methuen’s ascendancy at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and is rumored to be haunted. Enjoy local history and light refreshments as Methuen Historical Society President, Joe Bella, connects the past to the future and shares stories of Methuen’s magnates and how they have forever changed the landscape of Essex County.
The event is FREE to ENHC Explorer subscribers; non-member fee is $15, which is shared with the site. Space is limited and reservations are required. Fore more information or to reserve a space, call the ENHC at 978-740-0444 or visit www.HeritageExplorers.org.
