Welcome to Whittier Home

The Whittier Home Association acts as steward for the preservation  of the collections, structures, and grounds of the John Greenleaf  Whittier Home in Amesbury, Massachusetts.

As a non-profit, educational organization, we strive to engage diverse audiences in the life story of Whittier in his roles as a Quaker, a Writer, and an Abolitionist. We accomplish this by providing access to his home, collections, and archival material, complemented with public programs, exhibits, and publications.

We invite you to learn more about our organization, and to share in the legacy of one of the most important poets of the 19th century.
