The City of Methuen
Methuen is a community rich in history that comes to life in neighborhoods of period architecture and romantic stone walls that speak to the city's legendary past. A mere 25 miles north of Boston, Methuen has the village charm you'd expect in New England and the great amenities of a cultural city - a city with respect for its open space. |
The Town of North Andover
The Town of North Andover is located in Essex County, approximately 24 miles north of Boston. The Town lies along the banks of the Merrimack River, and retains the Lawrence Municipal Airport within its borders. Although North Andover contains several industrial parks, the town has retained a rural character and contains more than 3,000 acres of preserved open space. |

The Town of Salem, NH
The "Gateway to New Hampshire," Salem is a town of 28,000 located in the southeastern part of the state, in Rockingham County. Just over the Massachusetts border, Salem sits conveniently on Interstate 93, midway between Boston and Concord, NH; making it 32 miles from the culture and excitement of the big city, yet less than an hour drive from the beauty and tranquility of New Hampshire's White Mountains, Lakes Region and Atlantic seacoast. |
The Town of Andover
Located just 20 miles north of Boston at the intersection of I-93 and I-495, Andover is a suburban community of 32 square miles with a population of 29,000. With easy access to the city and Logan Airport, Andover is home to many of the largest high-technology firms such as Hewlett-Packard, Raytheon, Digital, Gillette, and Genetics Institute. |

The City of Lawrence
A rural farming town, Lawrence was transformed into a major industrial center when Boston entrepreneurs developed huge textile mills on the Merrimack River to use the power of its water falls. The mill owners built canals, a dam and a reservoir, boarding houses and a machine shop for locomotives, creating one of the first industrial complexes in the country. Despite the huge technological changes over the years, the manufacture of textiles and of men's and women's clothing is still central to Lawrence's economy and some of the finest names in apparel are made in the city. |
