Event Hours:
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Please arrive by 6:45 pm. Details:
Join Mr. Jonathan Pattee on a sunset tour of his historic property! While America's Stonehenge is
best known for its ancient ruins, this hill played a significant role in early American history as well.
The Pattee family was heavily involved in colonial and American history from the 17th century to the
19th century. Mr. Pattee's ancestor, Peter Pattee, immigrated to the New World in 1675. Shortly after,
he moved to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where his descendants would become involved in such important
events as the opening of the first mills on the Spicket River, the border conflicts with New France and
the Native Americans, the founding of Salem, New Hampshire, and the fight for independence in the
American Revolution. Jonathan himself would go on to join the cause of abolition and help people to
escape slavery on the Underground Railroad.
On this tour, you will be led through the Pattee family's property by
Mr. Pattee himself. He will point out where his barn once stood, and where his house foundation is
still marked by the bricks from his chimney. On the journey, you will hear tales that are both
unbelievable and ordinary, as your guide recounts stories from daily life in early America - stories
that are memorialized in the property and the Pattee family artifacts housed at the museum.
Period costumes are encouraged, but not required! Tickets are $35 per person, and are
available online only
as tours are expected to sell out. A limited quantity will be sold.
The tour will begin at 7:00 pm. You are encouraged to arrive by 6:45 to
allow time to check in. Mr. Pattee is a busy man, so don't be late! Important information:
- The hike through the site is uphill and crosses uneven terrain. Please wear comfortable, supportive
footwear and clothing suitable for the evening's weather.
- While you are welcome to bring a flashlight in case of emergencies, please refrain from using
flashlights during the tour as this will detract from the ambiance and distract your companions.
- Personal photography is permitted during the event, but as with flashlights, please be courteous to
your companions and refrain from using an overabundance of flash photography.
