East Parish Meeting House is very grateful for 2024 grant funding from the Massachusetts and Haverhill Cultural Councils, which partially paid for the recent removal of dead and dangerous trees overhanging our building and grounds. Timberrrr!! We would also like to thank Northern Tree Service, Inc., for their skillful assistance. In the interest of building preservation, we hope we can remove a few more dead and dangerous trees in 2025, and are continuing to seek funding.
