Amesbury
is located in the extreme northeast corner of the state. Settled in 1642, the rushing waters of the Powwow River provided energy for mills and Amesbury is believed to be the site of the first American factory to produce machine-made nails. Shipbuilding was another early industry, followed by textile mills and the Amesbury carriages, known around the world for their high quality workmanship and style. Another bit of Amesbury trivia - for a while, the country's number one candy was Hoyt's Buffalo Brand Peanut Butter Kisses, produced in the town. Alliance Park in the town of Amesbury is located at the junction of the Powwow and Merrimack Rivers, while Millyard Park is situated along the river in the downtown area. Millyard is the location of a historic textile mill where the Powwow River is enhanced with cascading waterfalls. Concerts and other outdoor activities are often held here. Woodsom Farm features a large expanse of open space that is popular for sledding in winter and soccer, kite flying and astronomical viewing in summer. Large events are often held at Woodsom Farm. Other attractions include Po Hill, the highest point in Essex County that overlooks the town of Amesbury, and also the Amesbury Sports Park, Amesbury Town Forest and the Amesbury Playhouse.

Amesbury Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The southwestern tip of Maine, just across the New Hampshire state line, enjoys a four-season climate without the frigid temperatures of the northeastern part of the state. While the weather can change quickly in Maine (from sunny to stormy,) the seasons are pretty predictable. Fall is a favorite time of the year for many, with mild sunny days and crisp cool nights. With its proximity to the ocean, this part of Maine enjoys mild summers with cool ocean breezes and temperatures that rarely go over 80 degrees. Rain is possible anytime of the year. Visitors should come prepared for anything - temperatures in Maine have been known to swing 20 degrees in less than an hour. At times, the wind along the coast picks up, making it seem even cooler.
