Town of West Newbury
Located 40 miles north of Boston, West Newbury is a delightful community characterized by rolling hills, broad valleys and an unspoiled rural charm. The Merrimack River, which flows along the northern border, provides scenic beauty and recreational boating.
During the holiday season, families travel to West Newbury to choose and cut a Christmas tree from one of the town's many Christmas tree farms. The Mill Pond area, encompassing over 200 acres, provides passive recreational activities including cross-country skiing, hiking, fishing, horse riding rings and trails, as well as a winter carnival, fall hayrides and other family oriented activities organized by the Mill Pond Committee. Youth programs include soccer, baseball and softball teams, summer children's theater, an after-school sports and arts program and a children's story hour at the Library. A splendid playground was constructed through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers working together in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.
The PTO and Pentucket Activities Association through fundraising activities supplement the programs of both the elementary and secondary schools. Organizations for older citizens include the Historical Society and Garden Club. The talented Volunteer Firemen's Association Marching Band, comprised of young folks and older citizens epitomizes the cooperative spirit of community members working and playing together that make West Newbury a special community.
