The Amesbury Millyard is one of the North Shore’s hidden gems; a community amphitheater nestled among historic New England mill buildings, once driven by the rush of water over the Powow River falls.

It’s a gathering spot, a performance area, a nature walk, a park all combined in a stretch bordered by Main St. (where you’ll find the arched, downtown entrance), Friend St.(off which you’ll find ample parking), Pond St.(with a beautiful view down the Powow River) and completed by High St. which brings you back to Amesbury’s distinctive Market Square.
