Josiah Bartlett Museum

The Josiah Bartlett Museum is located at 270 Main Street in Amesbury, occupying an 1870 Italianate schoolhouse named after Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence.



The museum's collections include items related Amesbury's carriage industry, as well as maps, and artifacts related to local history, including Native American activities. A substantial number of taxidermic birds, as well as fossils, minerals and shells are included in the museum's natural history collection and the museum recreates a 19th century schoolroom with antique school desks, children's games, and toys. Also on display is the recently added "Amesbury At War" exhibit.
