Welcome to the Tattersall FarmThe Tattersall Farm was owned and operated by the Tattersall Family for almost the entire twentieth century. The surviving family member, Mary Alice Tattersall, died in 1999, and in her will entrusted her family’s 150 acre farm to the City of Haverhill, imposing specific conservation and open space preservation restrictions to this gift, so that the Tattersall Farm would be preserved and maintained as close as possible to the state of condition it was at the time of her death.
At the same time she granted managerial rights to the Tattersall Farm Charitable Foundation Trust, which is obligated to preserve the Tattersall Farm, to protect its wildlife and conservation interests, and to inform and educate persons on matters relating to farming and environmental conservation.
The Tattersall Farm offers: 19th century plantings, working hayfields, rolling meadows, and open and wooded paths for passive recreational activities such as walking, jogging, and cross-country skiing. Due to the need to protect the wildlife inhabiting the farm, dogs and other pets are prohibited.
Located at 542 North Broadway, the farm is open daily during daylight hours.
