Tour of Chapel Cemetery at Phillips Academy
Retrace the
steps of Harriet Beecher Stowe, from the spot where she first lived
in Andover, to the sacred ground of her final resting place.
Hear the voices of other souls whose last remains share this space,
and learn of their contributions to the Town of Andover and to life
on “Seminary Hill.” Meet on the steps of Cochran Chapel.
Parking is available in the lots between and behind the Chapel and
the Andover Inn. Free for members, $5 for non-members. Advance
registration is requested as the program is limited to 20
participants. Register online or by calling 978.475.2236.
The season of ghoulish antics and hocus pocus has arrived at the Andover Historical Society. The third annual Bewitched in Andover: A Series of Eerie Events will take place throughout the month of October offering a wide variety of spirited and Halloween-themed events for all ages.
Andover was deeply involved in the infamous Salem witch trials and
has long embraced New England’s autumn traditions. So it is fitting
that the Historical Society draws attention to the Colonial Era and the
traditions that have evolved over the years.
