    It isn’t Europe. It’s Fairhaven. “I never had a delightfuler holiday in my life, and I did hate to leave Fairhaven.” —Mark Twain to daughter Clara, July 27, 1906 Fairhaven today is still every bit as delightful today as it was when Mark Twain used to visit. Maybe even delightfuler. There’s the state beach on Buzzard’s Bay. There’s the 3.5 mile Phoenix Bike Trail. There’s the rich history spanning the time from the Pilgrims, through the American Revolution, and the Nineteenth Century heyday of whaling and adventure. There’s a real fort, which was attacked by the British in 1778. There are the magnificent public buildings donated by Standard Oil Company millionaire Henry H. Rogers. There are unique shops, restaurants, marinas, fairs, concerts, historical tours and more for the whole family to enjoy. See for yourself why Mark Twain hated to leave Fairhaven.

These archival holdings, now amounting to more than 1.3 million cubic feet, date from the days of the Continental Congress and include the basic records of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the Federal Government. The Presidential libraries of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Gerald R. Ford contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. NARA is also responsible for the presidential papers of Richard M. Nixon, which are stored in the Washington, D.C., area, and of Jimmy Carter, which are stored in Atlanta, Ga. These research resources document significant events in our Nation's history, but most of them are preserved for their continuing practical use in the ordinary processes of government and for the research use of scholars, students, and other individual researchers.
