Last week I took myself on a tour of the Soles of Haverhill shoe paintings that are placed throughout the city. Currently there are 16, but a few were out being repaired. I enjoyed going in this "treasure hunt", I hope you enjoy the photos.
From the Team Haverhill website:
Soles of Haverhill is a community celebration of shoe manufacturing & design’s important role in Haverhill’s history, highlighted by the public display of painted shoe sculptures throughout downtown.
