North Andover’s Farm Legacy (Documentary and reception)

North Andover’s Farm Legacy (Documentary and reception)

The North Andover Farm Legacy Project, co-chaired by Anne Stork and Michael Smolak, is an endeavor to capture as much of the past of our venerable farming history before it is forgotten. By collecting oral histories and interviews, old photographs and documents, the project was originally designed to help preserve the history of our local farms.

Now, a series of documentaries is being produced that reflect on aspects of that history as well as the challenges local farmers have today in sustaining our farms and preserving our bucolic landscapes. The first documentary in the series has now been produced and will be premiering on the evening of Friday, June 13th at the NAHS Worden Theater.

Your invite includes a light reception starting at 6pm followed by the Farm Legacy documentary and a panel discussion. There is no cost for tickets but donations are welcome. This program has been a collaboration between the North Andover Historical Society and North Andover CAM.

ATWAS Encore: Tenement Echoes

This is an encore of our May showing of Tenement Echoes.

1920 textile mill towns attracted immigrant families' grateful for minimal wages that provided for a difficult but definitely improved quality of life. WWII imposed additional hardships, which along with the community concert of laughter, tears, pain, sorrow, love, joy and disappointments created a cacophony of Tenement Echoes.
