Methuen is located in the Merrimack Valley in northeastern Massachusetts. Thirty miles north of Boston; Methuen grew out of the Spicket Falls community during the 1800s as the Industrial Revolution arrived in this agricultural community.During this century; the town�s wealthiest families; the Searles; the Tenneys; and the Nevins; brought both economic and cultural growth by building numerous mills; churches; schools; and museums in the area. The citizens; immigrants; and Yankees alikeformed the backbone and built the character of Methuen that can still be seen today. Methuen brings together many never-before-seen photographs dating from the earliest days of photography to the 1960s.The history of the town is the story of its people; from the farmers and mill workers to the millionaires and their descendants. Their stories are intertwined with the images of the changing landscape of Methuen; including landmarks; storefronts; schools; and houses of worship. Some can still be seen today; while others exist only in memories.
