THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY AND BIKE PATH provides a “greenway” along the old Boston and Main rail bed from Amesbury’s historic downtown Upper Millyard and Market Square to the Carriagetown Marketplace. There is a plan to connect this 1.3 mile rail trail with a 30-mile network of trails to be developed in Amesbury, Salisbury, Newbury, and Newburyport.

In recent years many industrial mills in New England have been converted to residential apartment buildings. Renovated mills offer a combination of historical charm and modern amenities that are attractive to residents.

QUAINT SUBURBAN COMMUNITY

Amesbury is located 43 miles north of Boston and is bordered by Merrimac, Salisbury, Newburyport, West Newbury, and New Hampshire. Amesbury was settled in 1645 and its earliest industries included mills, shipyards, and a ferry boat operation on the Merrimac River. Most colonial settlements of the time relied exclusively on agriculture but Amesbury had both agriculture and a strong maritime and industrial economy. This maritime industry later gave way to textiles, iron works, and other manufacturers that established mills along the Powwow River. The Residences at Riverwalk was home to a carriage maker and later an auto body manufacturing company. Amesbury’s industrial base formed the backbone of the city and its history is still celebrated today.

Downtown Amesbury offers visitors and residents an eclectic mix of shops, galleries, and restaurants.
