STUDENTS TEAM-UP WITH NORTH ANDOVER HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO HIGHLIGHT LOCAL HERO

The North Andover Historical Society, and several former North Andover Middle School students under the leadership of teacher Mr. Pat McGravey, have teamed up to create a new exhibit focusing on William Symmes Jr., an Andover (now North Andover) resident and Massachusetts representative, who provided a pivotal vote in favor of the ratification of the Constitution. The exhibit opens to the public on Saturday, April 5, at the Parson Barnard House from 11:00 am-2:00 pm, and is acting as a grand opening to the spring-to-autumn series of First Saturday events in which historic places within North Andover are open to the public the first Saturday of every month. The Parson Barnard House Museum is located at 179 Osgood Street in North Andover.
