The Big Dog Show is the signature public art exhibition of Haverhill-based artist, Dale Rogers. Twenty of Dale Rogers’ “American Dogs” will be assembled on the Bradford Common from Friday, October 25 through Monday, October 28, 2028. Event sponsors will have the opportunity to decorate one of the American Dogs for the viewing pleasure of the greater Haverhill community, or to partner with a local school or nonprofit to form a decorating team. In addition to decorated Dogs, we are planning a number of other side events for the public to enjoy on Saturday, October 26. These include a pet costume parade, a chance to vote on the “best dressed” Big Dog, and more. We expect this will be a fun weekend for pet-owners and the community at large. We are anticipating over one thousand people will attend.
The Whittier Birthplace was organized in April 1893 to preserve the historic landscape, house, and other buildings as nearly as may be, in the same condition as when John Greenleaf Whittier lived on the farmstead and to provide public access to the property so that the legacy of Whittier’s literary and abolition works may be remembered.
