other historic buildings in Fairhaven are opened periodically for special public tours. The bronze plaque on the Fairhaven Town Hall, reads: This Building was presented to the Town of Fairhaven February 22, 1894, three months prior to the death of the donor Abbie Palmer Gifford Rogers. The people of Fairhaven in expressing their appreciation and gratitude for the gift would also record the sorrow they feel as a community through the loss of one whose life was full of good works. May this structure in its strength and beauty ever stand as commemorative of her character and thoughtful kindness. See also Standard Oil William N.
