A piano factory once thundered with invention in Haverhill, its keys echoing down streets marked by revolt and resilience. This self-guided audio tour unlocks the city’s hidden corners and tales—no guidebook could take you this deep into forgotten history.

Why did panicked townsfolk flee Main Street in the dead of night during a bitter winter raid? Which secret inspired Mason & Hamlin’s world-renowned pianos to sing above industrial clatter? What bizarre item vanished from a colonial merchant’s shop, fueling gossip long after the Raid on Haverhill?

Move through time as cobblestones crunch beneath your feet, tracking the city’s transformation from a frontier flashpoint to a tapestry of drama and innovation. Each landmark whispers—some shout—stories that still pulse through Haverhill’s heart.

Ready to trace the echo of uprisings and inventions? Press play and uncover Haverhill’s boldest secrets.
