Tour the “Castle on the Hill,” which was donated to the town in 1906 by Fairhaven’s famous philanthropist Henry Huttleston Rogers. All tours will be conducted by FHS Alumni Association President Bob Foster and will meet in the Rotunda inside the main entrance to the building on the Huttleston Avenue (Route 6) side of the building. The tour goers will explore the beautiful rooms, auditorium and gymnasium of the 1906 building designed by Boston architect Charles Brigham. The school was used as a setting for some scenes in the multi-award-winning 2023 film The Holdovers, starring Paul Giammati (Golden Globe, Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Oscar and Golden Globe, Best Supporting Actress), and Dominic Sessa. In 2017 Architecture Digest named Fairhaven High School the most beautiful high school in Massachusetts, and many would say the most beautiful in the United States. Admission is free. The building is disabled accessible, but not all parts of the tour may be. Sponsored by the Fairhaven High School Alumni Association.
