ON THE COVER: Long Beach in Rockport, courtesy of Brock Currier Photography. Artist’s statement: “Shorebreak waves break close to the beach, sometimes on dry sand. In many cases they’re unrideable by surfers. With just my camera, swim fins and a wetsuit, I can get in these hollow waves to show a different perspective of our seacoast. The smaller, clean waves of summer usually produce the best colors and art. Timing is everything.” CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

ELCOME TO THE 2021–2022 CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY! In the following pages, you’ll find a wealth of information highlighting the four communities that define this historic coastal region: Essex, Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport. While they share a coastline, each offers its own unique and remarkable capacity to make memories whether you’re visiting for the first time, have recently relocated or have lived a lifetime here. You’ll also discover that Cape Ann is far more than a great summer destination for stunning beaches and waterfront fun. You’ll learn that all four seasons promise exceptional arts and culture, delectable cuisine and incomparable hospitality. And, of course, the incredible salt air. If you’ve journeyed here to rest or write, paint or explore—Cape Ann will intrigue, inspire and rejuvenate.

Just under an hour north of Boston, Cape Ann is the ultimate, authentic New England experience. For centuries, it has inspired fine artists and writers, while delivering a storied and demanding livelihood to generations of fishermen. In these pages you’ll learn how Gloucester, Rockport, Essex and Manchester-by-the-Sea form this special corner of the world.

CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

ESSEX A day in Essex is filled with adventures, whether you spend it outdoors or in a museum. Hop in a kayak and explore the meandering Essex River, with its panoramic views of vast salt marshes lined with tall grasses. Once on land, continue your exploration with a stroll down the causeway. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a plate of fried clams in the town where fried clams were

invented! More fun trivia: Essex has more restaurants per capita than any other town north of Boston! Craving a bit of history? Be sure to visit the Essex Historical Society & Shipbuilding Museum, then browse Essex’s famed antique shops for treasures.

GLOUCESTER Gloucester is proud to be America’s oldest working seaport. Learn all about Gloucester’s maritime history with a visit to the Cape Ann Museum and Maritime Gloucester, then watch the working fishing boats in action with a walk on the inner harbor. Perhaps you’ll see the daily lobster catch coming in or a commercial fishing trawler passing by, seagulls swirling overhead. Just minutes away are Gloucester’s famous beaches, hiking trails, restaurants and thriving arts and culture scene, designed to keep you entertained regardless of the season. Step into an artist’s studio CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

Cape Ann offers stunning beaches, waterfront recreation, eclectic dining options and a wealth of authentic New England experiences. And then there are the people… on Rocky Neck, expand your art collection at the North Shore Arts Association, enjoy an evening of live music or take in a play at Gloucester Stage Company.

ROCKPORT The charm of Rockport escapes no one. It’s the quintessential New England town whose harbor features what’s regarded to be one of the most-painted buildings in America—Motif No. 1. Just a stone’s throw away are Bearskin Neck’s CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

small shops and eateries just waiting to tempt and delight you. Throughout Rockport’s downtown you’ll find captivating art galleries, and will soon understand why artists and visitors alike have fallen under Rockport’s spell. Spending a few days on Cape Ann? Catch a concert at the acoustically-perfect Shalin Liu Performance Center, where top names in classical, opera, pop and jazz grace the stage year-round. Its waterfront location simply astounds.

MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA

Even the name of this small seaside town possesses a sing-song quality—and perhaps it’s no coincidence that the town’s signature attraction is Singing Beach—simply one of the most beautiful stretches of sand along the eastern seaboard. The beach is a perfect way to start your day, followed by a visit to the downtown shops and galleries or a stroll through Masconomo Park with ice cream in hand as you gaze at the boats passing through the harbor. Visiting off season? Enjoy healthy winter hiking at Coolidge Reservation or check nightlife calendars for live music or romantic spots to enjoy dinner and cocktails. See pages 8–17 for more detailed descriptions of each Cape Ann community.

RAVELING TO A NEW DESTINATION IS LIKE ROLLING OUT A TREASURE map in front of you. And while Cape Ann’s riverside town of Essex may be small in size, you’ll discover a mountain of surprises. Love antiquing? Antiques with stories to tell are plentiful and found in wonderful shops throughout the town. “Once you see a piece that hits your heart and hits your soul—that’s the antiques experience,” says Tom Lang, Perim Lang Antiques. Vintage collectibles, wheel-thrown pottery and fine art, handcrafted sculpture, jewelry and children’s boutique goods add to the delights that await. After a day of exploring, quench your thirst in the Taproom at Great Marsh Brewing Company to enjoy their latest craft beer, or dine beside panoramic views of the marsh at any one of Essex’s wonderful restaurants. Like Cape Ann itself, Essex is a magnet for seafood lovers and fried clam aficionados—Woodman’s is the actual birthplace of the fried clam— yet there’s something for every taste in “New England’s Restaurant Capital.” Essex has a fascinating history. You can travel back in time on the self-guided Historic Essex Walking Tour where 16 interpretive signs feature historic photos and stories connecting past and present. The

All the best treasure hunts include a water voyage so take a scenic cruise down the meandering Essex River to learn the local lore. If standup paddleboarding piques your interest, rent a board or take a lesson from Cape Ann SUP. If fishing is your passion, stripers are a favorite catch aboard local charters. Treasure hunters in search of nature can birdwatch, hike or mountain bike on miles and miles of conservation trails. If golf is your jam, and you’re looking for a challenge, play the nine holes at Cape Ann Golf Club. The par 3, 7th hole has been recognized in North Shore Golf Magazine as one of the “Top hardest holes on the North Shore.”

HIS QUIET SEASIDE COMMUNITY IS SUCH A GLORIOUS DISCOVERY. Primarily residential, Manchester-by-the-Sea offers exceptional dining, shopping, beaches, parks and waterfront recreation.

ELCOME TO GLOUCESTER—YOU’VE ARRIVED AT THE PERFECT PLACE for breathing. We all know that fresh air is a key to health, happiness and sparking an appetite. You’ll need that appetite during your stay— with new restaurants to experience, new art galleries to inspire and new adventures to embark on. Gloucester is one of the U.S.’s most popular coastal destinations—and home to America’s oldest working seaport—promising stunning beaches and sunsets. It’s also an ever-evolving community, and you’ll notice new shops, cultural venues and homes at every turn. Rogers Street, running parallel to Main, adds its own restaurants and shops, along with access to whale watching, schooner sails, and other waterfront recreation. While meandering downtown, visit the Cape Ann Museum and learn more of the city’s history, its settlement in the early 1600s and its journey to becoming one of the world’s largest fishing ports by the mid 1800s. You’ll also stand in awe at the paintings of Fitz Henry Lane, Winslow Homer and others. Beyond the bustling seaport you’ll find Gloucester’s villages, where visitors can explore Magnolia’s varied businesses

Michelle Budrow

As Gloucester moves forward, it honors its past. Fishermen still head out to sea each morning and battle the unpredictable waters (The Fishermen’s Memorial will tell you more). Artists remain inspired by Cape Ann’s elusive light and strive to capture it on canvas, from dawn to dusk. Beaches and natural resources remain protected and pristine. Gloucester takes great pride in its traditions yet welcomes visitors and new residents to join in every aspect of its culture. While downtown you’ll notice a bustling Main Street boasting locally owned retail shops, galleries, cafes and fine restaurants.

And after a great dinner, live music awaits at any number of venues. If you’re here to chill, Good Harbor and Wingaersheek beaches, to name just two, will transport you to a calmer place. The salt air, combined with a long walk or kayaking, will restore and invigorate. Perhaps one of Gloucester’s best-kept secrets is its off-season.

ROCKPORT W

HEN DESCRIBING THE FOUR TOWNS COMPRISING CAPE ANN, IT’S easy to use the same words over and over: unique, charming, quaint, picturesque, etc. Writers strive to find new descriptions that “paint the picture” (pun intended) and spark your imagination while avoiding the trap of clichés. One wonders, though, if it was actually Cape Ann that inspired those words to begin with. Rockport, located at the tip of the Cape, and its jaw-dropping views of the Atlantic and stunning coastline, will simply take your breath away. could spend days roaming in and out of the studios and galleries along Broadway, Dock Square, Main Street and Bearskin Neck, meeting the artists and watching them work. As you roam you’ll also discover excellent restaurants (from hot dog shacks to lobster in the rough and fine dining), weathered storefront cottages and, if you wander Bearskin Neck to the top, you’ll arrive at the ultimate spot for a selfie—with the vast Atlantic as your backdrop. Music and performance are plentiful throughout the year along with many special town events. In the summer, there are free concerts at the Back Beach Bandstand

Adrian Hewitt

Similar to Gloucester, European settlers in the early 1600s identified the waters off Rockport as a fertile fishing ground and settled there, beginning industries in granite, timber and fishing. If you walk or hike through Halibut Point State Park, you’ll come across the old granite quarries, still impressive today. Pack a picnic because you’ll find a great spot to enjoy more incredible views of the Atlantic. Rockport’s history as a magnet for artists holds true today. You’ll find a thriving community of artists and galleries—not to mention incredible talent. If you’re a seasoned collector or just beginning, you

RAINY DAY ACTIVITIES

A rainy day on Cape Ann is never a reason to despair. With a plethora of museums, galleries and shops to choose from, you’ll easily fill your day. Local favorites include Hammond Castle; Beauport, the SleeperMcCann House; Manchester Historical Museum; and the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. If you’re looking for something a bit more relaxed, take the family to Cape Ann Lanes for bowling or visit Cape Ann Art Haven to tap into your creative side. Great memories will be made no matter what activity you choose.

Whether solo or with a friend, spend a day recharging your body and mind. Pack a picnic from Common Crow Natural Marketplace or Seaview Farm, bring your yoga mat, favorite book or journal and exhale in one of Cape Ann’s many serene locations. You may be drawn to the idyllic Dog Bar Breakwater at Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, Masconomo Park in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Back Beach in Rockport or the Stavros Reservation in Essex. If you’d rather meditate indoors, find your zen at Treetop Yoga, Saltwater Massage Studio or Soft Touch Salon. Treat yourself to a day of revitalization on Cape Ann.

The region has incomparable vistas, many of which can be enjoyed by driving the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway. There are 40 miles worth of scenic views on Cape Ann; choose your journey by following Route 133 through Essex or heading north on Route 127 through Manchester-by-the-Sea and around the island through Gloucester and Rockport.

TAKE A TOUR THROUGH CAPE ANN HISTORY

Echoes of the past are hidden around every corner of Cape Ann, and visitors can explore the region’s hundreds of historic homes, grand monuments and businesses—all with centuries of tales to tell. If you’re in Gloucester, take a stroll on the self-guided HarborWalk to see many historical sites and then continue to Stacy Boulevard for a moment with the Gloucester Fisherman. A stone’s throw from Stacy Boulevard is Cape Pond Ice, established in 1848, and still providing tons of ice to the fishing fleet daily. In Rockport, tour historic downtown along Main Street and pass by some of the first homes built by English settlers in the 18th century. For a taste of colonial New England, visit Essex’s Cogswell’s Grant to discover a restored 1728 farmhouse containing a collection of American folk art or explore the Manchester Village Historic District’s early American cemeteries and examples of 17th century vernacular architecture.

THROUGH ALL SEASONS

ANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE ON CAPE ANN during the summer months of June, July and August. There are many joys to be found September through May as well.

SEPTEMBER September brings back annual events: the iconic Schooner Festival, Gloucester Block Party, Trails & Sails and the Essex Police Department’s vintage car show, to name a few. It’s a beautiful time of year to enjoy outdoor living on Cape Ann, including swimming (remember, the ocean water has been warming all summer long).

OCTOBER Autumn is gorgeous on Cape Ann and ideal for woodland hikes and seaside walks on Cape Ann’s numerous trails and pathways, or for a drive along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway. Book a long weekend to enjoy the spectacular fall colors, Cape Ann Plein Air, Rockport Harvestfest, Essex ClamFest and Halloween happenings.

NOVEMBER Honor all veterans at Veterans Day observances across Cape Ann. Inhale the late autumn sea air along the waterfront and in parks, and indulge in Thanksgiving feasts at many excellent year-round restaurants.

Cape Ann’s extraordinary winter birding season is also just beginning.

DECEMBER Cape Ann’s communities abound with holiday festivals, including Gloucester’s Middle Street Walk and Lobster Trap Tree, Rockport’s annual Nativity Pageant (75 years and counting) and New Year’s Eve, Manchester’s Christmas by the Sea, Cape Ann Winter Lights and decorated storefronts everywhere. Enjoy the spirit of the holidays with snow-dusted downtowns and charming villages reminiscent of your favorite Christmas movies.

JANUARY The Cape Ann Museum is free for locals this month and is always a great value for everyone. Enjoy the outdoors cross-country skiing on woodland trails, taking winter beach walks or ice-skating on Brace’s Pond. Warm yourself indoors with bowling, fireside chats, friendly pubs and post-holiday shopping. Favorite restaurants including Woodman’s are always open.

Birding continues at sea or along the shore. With March’s lengthening days and warming earth, spring flowers are appearing in community gardens and along rustic walls. Try a beach walk with bare feet— invigorating! It’s not that cold! Farnham’s in Essex has reopened—can the ice cream shops be far behind? Plan your getaway at a cozy Cape Ann inn for a spring fling weekend. Shop and dine—and even take in a show—all with an ocean view.

APRIL Listen for the peepers in woodland ponds and pools, watch a ballgame at Evans Field or Stage Fort Park, head back to the beach for springtime sunbathing and take a quick dip. It’s good for the soul! Welcome the boats back to Cape Ann’s waters. Head out to sea to fish or to watch for whales; or enjoy a row or a sail on Cape Ann’s bays. Daffodils are in full bloom now and the tulips along Gloucester’s Stacy Boulevard will soon return. Seasonal shops and restaurants are reopening and the songbirds at idyllic Halibut Point State Park share a free open-air concert.

MAY Celebrate Motif No. 1 and Cape Ann’s art and cultural heritage all month long. Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend by booking a stay at a local accommodation. Breathe in the sweet smells of flowering trees and shrubs and gardens in full bloom. See the plein air artists at their easels as you stroll through Greenbelt’s Cox Reservation in Essex, and gaze out over the salt marshes that have shed their winter grays and donned their pastel greens and blues. Summer is in the air. Breathe it all in.

CAPE ANN PLEIN AIR:

CELEBRATING THE ARTS AND OUR COMMUNITY Neal Levy

020 WAS QUITE A YEAR, WASN’T IT? THE CHALLENGES BROUGHT ON BY THE COVID-19 pandemic meant that the Cape Ann Plein Air (CAPA) team needed to change direction in their planning. In 2020, CAPA held a small virtual week, with online sales and “Zoom Conversations with the Artists,” a unique opportunity to hear directly from our artists as they visited remotely from their kitchens, studios and living rooms. The online event also featured demos, lectures, gallery tours and the opportunity to purchase paintings from the featured artists. The website was brimming and social media played an important role in bringing the artists to our audience.

“2020 brought a whole set of issues and with them we created new opportunities for the artists and arts patrons,” said Cape Ann Plein Air Executive Director Susan Gould-Coviello. “By having our online event during the traditional week of CAPA in October 2020, we stayed in the minds of art enthusiasts, and waiting to hold our live event in

CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

October 2021 ensures we will be able to hold events safely.” Our 2020–2021 slate of artists is as follows: Ken DeWaard, Charles Newman, Neal Hughes, John Caggiano, Debra Joy Groesser, Christopher Leeper, Tim Kelly, Charlie Hunter, Richard Sneary, Robin Roberts, Russell Jewell, Susan Lynn, Ann Larsen, George Van Hook, Garin Baker, Doug Clarke, Leonard Mizerek, Jill Basham, R. Gregory Summers, Maria Marino, Paul George, Mat Barber Kennedy, David Drinon, David Bareford, Jim Laurino, Tara Will, Daniel DeLouise, Jonathan McPhillips, Michael Compton, Jay Brooks, Mitch Baird, Antwan Ramar, Beth Brownlee Bathe, Alison Menke and DK Palecek. Community partners include The Cape Ann Chamber, Art Haven, Maritime Gloucester, Essex Shipbuilding Museum and Cape Ann Museum. All 35 2020–2021 artists will be on Cape Ann for a full, live and in-person

event from October 3–11, 2021. It will be a complete plein air event with a week of painting, demos, dinners and celebrations, culminating with a Gala sale and Quick Draw. Like years past, this is an opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy a meal with them, watch them create their art and buy their completed works. The whole art community is invited to participate in the Quick Draw. “CAPA is a remarkable experience for everyone—artists, art lovers, the Cape Ann cultural community, local residents and visitors to the region,” said Mike Storella, CAPA Board President. “It is especially encouraging to see the participation of local businesses and others throughout the community,” added Ken Riehl, CEO of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce and a CAPA Board member. With our unique approach to CAPA 2020–2021, one will experience the next exciting milestone on this journey, as the Cape Ann community comes together to welcome these artists and visitors to the region, to preserve and promote our arts legacy and to support our vibrant creative economy.

THE WORLD CLASS CULTURE OF GREATER CAPE ANN:

REASONS TO VISIT AND RELOCATE BY CHRIS MUNKHOLM courtesy of Rockport Art Association & Museum

HEN CHOOSING A DESTINATION TO VISIT, THE ARTS OFTEN PLAY A major role in one’s decision-making. What’s the music scene like? Are there museums and galleries? Theater and dance? Is art made here? The arts add depth and character to a destination and rain or shine, summer or winter, they never disappoint. If you’re considering relocating, it’s even more important that the arts and arts education are thriving. Welcome to Cape Ann! Where you’ll enjoy the arts year-round—from classical concerts to comedy—against the dramatic backdrop of the Atlantic. A few highlights follow. Since the 19th century, artists in search of inspiration have trekked to the Cape Ann peninsula where the changing scenery contains every combination of seasons, tides, sunrises, moonlight, foliage, and countless seafaring vessels. Over the decades, Cape Ann grew into one of the world’s most renowned artistic destinations, producing many revered painters—including Fitz Henry Lane, Winslow Homer, Jane Peterson and Marsden Hartley—who translated the scenery into legendary works of art. A legion of artists followed these first painters, collectively becoming known as the Cape Ann School of Painting, their artwork capturing the region’s evocative

beauty. Many artists of the Cape Ann School have become highly valued by collectors and museums the world over. Today, the local art community thrives through new genres, including the Cape Ann Plein Air painters, the Experimental Group of modernists, graphic designers using digital methods, photographers populating Instagram, video artists, and, of course, aspiring painters. The inspiration of Cape Ann never diminishes. The trek to the peninsula never ceases. The profusion of artistic activity fostered museums, associations, galleries and art schools, all central to Cape Ann growing into one of the world’s premier cultural

destinations. If museum-hopping is on your destination or relocation criteria, here are a few suggestions. Founded in 1921, the Rockport Art Association & Museum (RAA&M) now serves as the chief steward of the Cape Ann School of Painting. Located in the heart of Rockport’s commercial area, RAA&M is comprised of several galleries offering continuous exhibitions. The major annual RAA&M auction of heritage artwork attracts global collectors for the works of Jane Peterson, Emile Gruppe, Aldro Hibbard, Charles Movalli and many other renowned painters of Cape Ann. The Cape Ann Museum, founded in 1873 as the Cape Ann Scientific Literary Association, has become the elegant steward of the region’s art, culture and history, with a dedicated Fitz Henry Lane Gallery at the main site. Fitz Henry Lane (1804– 1865) was born in Gloucester and lived on the harbor’s waterfront. During his life he became America’s premier painter of marine subjects, developing a style that combined precise detail with expansive lumines-

One of the best ways to learn about your new community if you’ve just relocated is to connect with the art scene. On Cape Ann, you’ll love wandering in and out of the numerous galleries and studios and getting to know the artists. You’ll enjoy finding these independent art galleries scattered across Cape Ann; far more than could be listed here. In Gloucester you’ll want to pop in to see Jane Deering, who once ran the London-based Art Remarks, and who opened the Jane Deering Gallery in 2002. The Gloucester gallery represents emerging and established artists from the U.S. and abroad, with a strong interest in artists living and working on Cape Ann. In Rockport, you’ll find Tom Nicholas Gallery, Ken Knowles Fine Art, iartcolony, Scott Tubby Fine Art, Canterbury Hill Studio and Gallery, and the Art of David Arsenault. CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

cent skies. The museum expands in 2021 with the opening of Cape Ann Museum Green, a nearly four-acre campus including a contemporary gallery, historic buildings and an expansive green lawn destined for development into a sculpture park. Salem’s Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) was founded in 1799 by Salem sea captains as a repository for their collectibles acquired during those first maritime voyages to the world’s distant ports. PEM, now the “nation’s oldest continuously operating museum,” has evolved into the North Shore’s portal to world class American and international art. In addition to the museums, two revered arts associations continue to serve the cultural life of Cape Ann. The North Shore Arts Association, founded in 1922, fills its spacious harborside galleries with rotating exhibitions and community events. The Rocky Neck Art Colony has been a working art colony for more than 150 years, when painters had homes and studios in the Rocky Neck district of Gloucester. Today the organization extends an exciting program of exhibitions, galleries, and classes to both its members and the public. Its eclectic vibe will draw you back often—not to mention the great restaurants.

A dance performance at the Windhover Center for the Performing Arts in Rockport.

Once Cape Ann became known as a creative outpost, more artists followed, including musicians, actors, playwrights and dancers, with their own needs for theaters, concert halls and performance stages. In 1967, Herbert and Ina Hahn, a former professional dancer in New York, moved to Rockport where they converted a farm into a summer youth camp for the performing arts. Today, the enclave has evolved into a complex known as Windhover Center for the Performing Arts with an outdoor performance pavilion nestled into the natural land formation. Another exceptional Cape Ann venue is Rockport Music’s Shalin Liu Performance Center, an intimate concert hall with pitch-perfect acoustics whose stage overlooks Rockport’s Sandy Bay. During its popular performance season, the best of classical, jazz, and folk are presented along with HD broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera and London’s National Theatre. Musical offerings on Cape Ann also include regional symphonies and choral groups of the highest quality, including the Cape Ann Symphony, Symphony by the Sea and Chorus North Shore. And generally speaking, you’ll find live music played somewhere on Cape Ann every night of the week.

For live theater devotees, Gloucester Stage Company, an award-winning local treasure, offers a seasonal schedule of exciting productions. Off season, the calendar is booked with original work, often highlighting local authors and actors. Another cherished community theater ensemble is Annisquam Village Players, operating since 1917, and known for its irreverent summer production. For history buffs, the wonderful historical societies of Cape Ann are to be taken seriously. With lectures by dedicated local scholars, they keep the teachings and memories of Cape Ann’s ancestors alive. Local history destinations include the Manchester Historical Museum, the Ipswich Historical Society, Historic Beverly and the Wenham Museum If you find the written word enthralling as much as the spoken, two local organizations nurture the literary life of Cape Ann: Gloucester Writers Center and Literary Cape Ann, both offering scholarly events as well as practical workshops on the craft of writing and publishing. Literary mavens will indulge in Cape Ann’s charming independent bookstores, including Dogtown Books in Gloucester, Manchester by the Book in Manchester-by-the-Sea and Art Longwood Books in Rockport, for the CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

The original owner, sculptor Paul Manship, created the Prometheus Fountain at New York City’s Rockefeller Center, and once used the site as his summer home and studio. The property is now dedicated as an international, interdisciplinary artists residency.

bibliophile in search of rare publications on the visual arts. Many don’t realize this but Nobelprize winning author T.S. Eliot spent his youth at the family summer home in East Gloucester. His imprinted memories of Cape Ann became stanzas in his opus, The Four Quartets. In 2015, the T.S. Eliot Foundation purchased the Eliot family’s spacious summer home, which is now the T.S. Eliot House, refurbished to serve as a writer’s retreat, open to poets, playwrights, essayists and editors. Central to the cultural venues of Cape Ann are several particularly stunning destinations. Each combines a unique historical genesis with exquisite period architecture—elegant reminders of Cape Ann’s more formal era. The Beauport Sleeper-McCann House, constructed 1907–1934 and perched on a rocky ledge overlooking Gloucester Harbor, was built by Henry Davis Sleeper, one of the first successful interior decorators. The house grew to 56 rooms, becoming his design laboratory and a popular feature in magazines. Today, the Beauport Sleeper-McCann house is open for tours and remains largely intact as a living showcase for Sleeper’s interior design concepts. So fascinating!

CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

Another magnificent Gloucester destination is the former home of inventor and music lover John Hayes Hammond, Jr. The Hammond Castle, completed in 1929, represented his dream house, complete with medieval elements and a large pipe organ in the Great Hall. The Castle’s programming includes concerts, lectures, general tours and special Halloween happenings. It is a castle after all! And in warmer temps, it’s an excellent spot to picnic. In Ipswich, The Crane Estate, established in 1910 and sitting right on the ocean, includes The Great House, designed by world-renowned architect David Adler as a 59-room Stuart-style mansion. Today it’s a grand and glorious destination hosting a range of cultural events both public and private. In downtown Beverly, The Cabot Performing Art Center celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2020. The 800seat theater was once the local movie house for Hollywood’s new releases. With its interior architecture now undergoing full restoration, the Cabot is soon to become one of the region’s most elegant entertainment venues. And lastly for this short list, Manship Artists Residency + Studios is another historic site restored from a bygone era.

While many visitors and new residents are aware of Cape Ann’s cultural heritage and thriving arts scene, they may not realize the region’s cutting edge scientific contributions. Gloucester has worked the oceans for centuries, for example, and the need for improved management of marine resources has stimulated scientific research. A burgeoning science community now includes several world class research institutions. Founded in 1971 by cetologist Roger Payne, Ocean Alliance conducts whale conservation research on projects the world over. Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute, founded in 2013, is the world’s first dedicated marine genomics research institute, now operating from a state-of-the-art research facility on Gloucester’s inner harbor. Maritime Gloucester, on the waterfront in downtown Gloucester, is a mixed-usage educational complex including a museum and aquarium, with a new educational science center planned for 2021. Gloucester Marine Station, part of University of Massachusetts, is an educational and research site founded to study sustainable fisheries and to pursue “blue economy” opportunities. Perhaps this short tour of the region has helped you make your decision! Everything you need to take the next step in making vacation or relocation plans can be found in these pages. And rest assured, cultural life will forever thrive on this peninsula that juts out to meet the sea, the sunrise, and all who travel here to imbibe, and perhaps choose to reside in, the extraordinary beauty of Cape Ann.

CAPE ANN

PROFILES BY RITA A. FUCILLO AND NICOLA ALEXANDER

HERE IS NO QUESTION THAT CAPE ANN IS FAMOUS FOR ITS DRAMATIC LANDSCAPES, ITS PRISTINE BEACHES and, according to local artists, a quality of light to rival Venice. Yet, its people tell a story to rival the scenery. Historically drawn by the sea and Cape Ann’s safe harbors, today an extraordinary mix of people call Cape Ann home. Here are five conversations with local notables that offer some insight into the people who carved a distinct way of life from the Cape’s granite shores.

CAPE ANN PROFILES: JILL WHITNEY ARMSTRONG

ill Whitney Armstrong is on a mission: to make it known to every visitor who walks into iartcolony, the Rockport-based gallery and arts consultancy she runs with her husband Bob, that Cape Ann is far more than meets the eye— and the work being created on the island, whether in a studio, residency program or an easel precariously perched on Gloucester’s Bass Rocks or Rockport’s Headlands, is contemporary and infused with the spirit of a place both Armstrongs define as “magical.” “We’ve had a lifelong love affair with Cape Ann and have lived here, side by side, on this island for more than 50 years. It’s a true Cape Ann love story.” Jill Armstrong escaped from the corporate world in 1998, unharmed and enlightened with the knowledge that hers Left: Jill Whitney Armstrong. Right: Maiden Voyage.

“ We’ve…lived here, side by side, on this island for more than 50 years. It’s a true Cape Ann love story” was a more creative path. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity,” a Horace Mann quote that new husband Bob shared with her at the time, “changed the course of my life,” she explains. She and Bob have embarked on a journey to fulfill that directive together. That same year, Bob brought home oil paints and, as if the muses she would later depict on canvas were present, Jill began to paint. And within her work one finds both the meaning and the urgency that Mann was inferring. Her paintings tell stories, multiple stories at once, many of the sea and its ghosts; of Cape Ann’s secret, of rocky coves; of the lives spent on fishing vessels and the storms they met; of strong–minded women and their powers. “I see imagery within the negative spaces,” Jill explains, “always mythical and archetypal, perhaps stored in my subconscious, feminine figures, birds and horses—the natural swishing of the oils creates a detailed realism. Suddenly a story unfolds and an allegory begins—everything is interconnected and interwoven.” Armstrong captures Cape Ann in a halo of intrigue and invites the viewer to peer CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

closely, and look for those other stories occurring beneath the cresting wave, or the osprey’s tangled nest or between the dock’s pylons. Each swirl of color is a cavern or pocket perhaps containing another story, “or someone who just showed up” or a set of eyes amidst the edges of rocks and waves. Her work exudes warmth if not heat, fiery reds and deep azures. She is unafraid of color and follows the lead of her subjects, unaware of the outcome until she’s there. While many are drawn to Cape Ann for its quiet appeal and waterfront charm, the Armstrongs have always seen something more. They see the elusive snowy owl in the wintertime, the ferocity of a sea storm, the legacies of those who have gone down to the sea in their ships and the humble majesty of Rockport’s Motif No. 1, the unsuspecting fishing shanty that has become an icon of Cape Ann, one that Jill has transformed in a way that bridges Cape Ann then and now, in the 21st century. Where Cape Ann contributes to a larger conversation on contemporary art-making, and its social, societal and philanthropic responsibilities. “It’s critical that historic traditional styles be preserved

while making way for others to offer their interpretation, in their own words, with their unique perspective.” Self-proclaimed Cape Ann ambassadors, it would be impossible to find two people more engaged with and devoted to their community. For years the Armstrongs have wintered in Florida with family, traveling to art fairs, talking up Cape Ann’s art scene while promoting Jill’s paintings. The other three seasons of the year you’ll find them at iartcolony, highlighting emerging and established artists (“We love introducing artists to Cape Ann and touring them around, sharing the hidden gems”), launching an artist residency program and staging their popular and provocatively themed exhibition launch parties with titles like the shaman show, propaganda and commune. Their gallery is a rolling think tank of artists and curators, philosophers and visionaries. You could find yourself on any given day joining a conversation on politics, spirituality, British alt-rock bands of the ’80s and, of course, the ever-increasing importance of art, both on and off the island. All are welcome. This space they cultivate, as you’ll find on their website, is the epitome of “Cape Ann Cool.” CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

CAPE ANN PROFILES: DAVE AND MARY BROWN

Courtesy of Shea’s Riverside

estled beside the scenic Essex River lies an eatery with a lot of heart. Shea’s Riverside Restaurant & Bar, owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Dave and Mary Brown, has undergone one metamorphosis after another. Yet at the center of it all is an unwavering dedication to community, hospitality and the vitalization of Essex. A seasoned restaurateur, Dave Brown previously owned 10 Center Street and Molly’s Pub in Newburyport, Mass. After taking a brief hiatus from the restaurant industry, Brown set his sights on Shea’s in 2007. Drawn by its popularity with both visitors and locals, Mary and Dave saw a unique opportunity to expand Shea’s reputation. In 2014, they ventured into hospitality by refurbishing an 18th-century

“ It’s a great opportunity for [the staff]…to tell customers, ‘I planted this, I watered this and now you’re eating this.” building near the restaurant and turned it into a cozy, six-room inn. And the dream grew even bigger: They continued their expansion by revamping a quintessential 1950s motor motel with 15 rooms, complete with drive-up check-in service. And the growth has not stopped there—literally. Dave and Mary’s newest project is the Itsy Bitsy Farm: a quarter-acre garden featuring fresh vegetables picked exclusively for Shea’s. Though the garden may be small, its namesake is anything but: Itsy and Bitsy are the Browns’ two Great Danes. While Mary and Dave dreamt of serving freshly grown food at Shea’s since 2019, they have finally made it a reality, incorporating homegrown ingredients into their menu. A surplus of vegetables also led to a farm-to-table stand in front of the farm, offering delectable, canned goods at a Pay-What-YouCan rate. The Browns celebrate the Itsy Bitsy Farm as a team effort, with staff members volunteering to drive fence posts, make rows and plant organic seeds. Mary explains how the farm gives the staff a sense of pride, “It’s a great opportunity for them to be able to tell custom-

CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

ers, ‘I planted this, I watered this and now you’re eating this.’” Mary’s hands dip into many pots and, at times, even potting soil. She serves as an attorney and in-house counsel for the restaurant and motel, and is also the director of marketing and manager of Shea’s farm-to-table display. If that schedule were not daunting enough, the couple has a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. It is a never-ending cycle that Mary lovingly calls, “the gardening, the ‘momming’ and the marketing.” When asked what professional role makes her happiest, Mary doesn’t hesitate: “Hands down, I’m happiest at the farm. I love growing stuff! You wouldn’t be able to tell, but I’ve got at least six different seed catalogues with me. I love flipping through them—they’re wonderful little books of possibility.” “Possibility” is a word the Browns are happy to use again, especially after many things were deemed impossible during 2020. With an influx of new visitors and guests upon reopening, Shea’s rose to the occasion. Gayle McKinley—general manager of the inn, motel and marina—was at the helm: “You had to be nimble. I liked

that because it stretched everyone to think differently about how we go to work every day, and how to make the guest’s experience a good one. My goal was to uphold Dave’s expectations and standards and give the guests what they deserve: a really nice time.” McKinley’s attention to detail and willingness to serve land rave reviews from guests—and brides (some of the toughest clients to please). McKinley is particularly proud of Shea’s outstanding reputation for hospitality and can share many wonderful stories from guests over the years. As Shea’s reopens its doors in spring ’21, Dave Brown wants visitors to know that while the world has changed, their dedication to exceptional service has not. Guests can expect “everything they’ve always gotten—excellent service and the beautiful views.” Most of all, Dave is looking forward to experimenting with new flavors and menu items alongside his new head chef. Whether you’re looking for a memorable dinner, a weekend getaway or planning your “big day,” this dynamic trio will take care of everything. Shea’s is a shining example of what is possible when passion, creativity, and resiliency lead the way. CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

CAPE ANN PROFILES: MARI MARTIN

Joanne Silva

hat soothes the soul like a beautiful song? It can transport you to a better place and, when you’re on vacation, it can be that magic spell, especially performed live, that sends you straight into relaxation mode, where you truly exhale. Not everyone, nor every destination, can deliver that moment. Mari Martin will deliver that moment wherever she’s singing that night. A fifth generation “Rockporter,” Martin found her voice in college yet started singing at age eight, influenced by a family friend, a jazz music fanatic, who insisted Martin’s father buy her a piano—which he did. She began by writing simple songs “and taking credit for Eric Clapton’s ‘Layla,’” she laughs, one

“ There’s a huge amount of talent in this small area. To be able to sing here is a gift. ” of her favorites as a child. Choir singing led to high school plays yet not to a lot of confidence. Stage fright and selfesteem were later conquered at UMass Amherst where she and guitarist Chris Moran started playing the UMass coffee house circuit. It was an open mic night at Northampton’s iconic Iron Horse, their first off-campus gig, when they realized “We’re actually kinda good.” No surprise, Martin started singing jazz, and studying Afro-American vocal techniques. She met Max Roche, jazz drummer to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, in a class at UMass—another turning point. Her studies brought the confidence, her gigs brought the joy— and Martin’s 30-year career in music was launched. Drawn to adventure and yearning to see the country, Martin headed west. She left her heart in San Francisco and then settled in Santa Barbara for nearly 18 years, where she co-founded, with vocalist Michael Andrews, an eightpiece funk band called Area 51. She still sings with them when she visits. She also started Mari Martin and the Dirty LitCAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

tle Secrets (another band she steps back into when in California) and sang on and off with Grammy-winner Kenny Loggins for a few years. She credits Loggins with “making me a better singer. I learned so much from him. It was an amazing time.” Like a song’s refrain, the East Coast called her home in 2010 and Martin has been making music on Cape Ann ever since, singing in venues from grand concert halls to intimate, local clubs. Shalin Liu, Beauport Hotel, The Rhumb Line, Minglewood, Drift (“it’s like a little bit of San Francisco got dropped in the middle of Gloucester”), the list goes on. Cape Ann may be small as the crow flies yet you’ll find live music everywhere, every night. Her current band, the eclectic Mari Martin and the Lucky Boys “does it all,” Martin says. “We take songs and make them our own, adding a little twist. Our passion is to play wherever the music takes us that night. In this moment, it’s bossa!” The next night it could be jazz, blues, soul, pop or a little country. Her bandmates Mark Retallack (keys), drummer Roger Brockelbank, guitarist

Jake Pardee and sax player Mark Earley have earned her love and deep respect. In fact, Martin praises the talents of Cape Ann’s entire tight-knit music community—its musicians and its venues. “There’s a huge amount of talent in this small area,” she says. “To be able to sing here is a gift. You can be just as faithful to a place as you can a person. I feel that way about Cape Ann.” In the spirit of Cape Ann’s “music camaraderie” that Martin describes, she insists her limelight be shared with Brian King, Deb Hardy, Alexandra Grace, Nadia Robertson and Joe Wilkins, to name a few. If Martin’s not performing when you’re visiting and you see one of these performers on the bill— grab a seat. And between the soulful sounds, the starry night and your deep exhale, you’ll be transported away from whatever stress you left behind. A life in the arts demands strength and resilience, which Martin inherited from the sea captains in her lineage from Finland and the Azores. Cape Ann’s is a story of strength and resilience, with music and art at its core. “Art is in the bones,” she says, “the bedrock of this land.” CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

CAPE ANN PROFILES: MICHAEL De KOSTER

t’s impossible to discuss Gloucester’s emergence as a historic Massachusetts settlement without mentioning its maritime heritage. The town flourished as a fishing and trading center from the 17th to the 19th century, and still touts fish-related industries as an economic mainstay. Gloucester has even inspired numerous books and poems, including Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling and Gloucestermen by James B. Connelly. Yet like the oceans themselves, of which 80 percent is still unexplored, there is more to learn about Gloucester’s history beneath the surface. Maritime Gloucester, a working waterfront and maritime museum led by executive director Michael De Koster, educates students and visitors about marine science, marine heritage and environmental stewMaritime Gloucester dock at sunrise.

“ I want Maritime Gloucester to realize its full potential because it really is limitless.” ardship through unique, hands-on activities and experiences. Since 2000, the organization has developed a glowing reputation in Cape Ann and beyond for its dedication to the community and preserving Gloucester’s history. De Koster takes great pride in his work. He states, “I feel so fortunate to run this wonderful organization. Every day I think about how cool it is that we can tell the story of shoremen working the waterfront, the history of our fishing fleet and the iconic stories of the city.” For nearly 18 years, Maritime Gloucester has partnered with public schools across Cape Ann to provide authentic marine science and STEM experiences. Between school field trips, after-school programming and, most recently, virtual programming, “It seems like every third, fourth, and fifth grader over the last decade has visited us at least twice,” De Koster jokes. Four times a year, educators from Maritime Gloucester bring science programming directly to the classroom. To avoid what De Koster calls “cookie cutter experiences,” the organization works alongside the school and adapts to their curriculum, ensuring developmentally appropriate practices.

CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2021–2022

Like many scientific and historical institutions, Maritime Gloucester was not spared setbacks due to COVID-19. However, as glimpses of life post-pandemic become clearer, De Koster has his eyes set to the future. This summer, Maritime Gloucester debuts its Maritime Science Education Center, a 1,350-square-foot multi-purpose classroom and exhibit space with indoor, year-round touch tanks. The Center provides further opportunities for Maritime Gloucester to connect with the community and provide relevant, experiential learning. The Center also acts as another sustainable revenue stream during months in which the institution would not typically generate programmatic income. In the exhibit and classroom space, Maritime Gloucester aims to offer more innovative educational experiences for elementary school students, as well as middle and high school-age students. At the touch tanks, visitors get up-close and personal with a variety of ocean life, such as small fish, starfish, moon snails, mummichogs, lobsters and more. When asked to comment on his favorite animal in the touch tanks, De Koster laughed, “I love them all like my children!”

The project has been met with overwhelming support and excitement from Gloucester and the entire Cape Ann community. “Gloucester is a place like no other,” De Koster explains, “I felt right away that there was a real sense of civic pride, and a sense that we’re all in this together. It is a small ‘big’ town, you know? I love it.” De Koster is optimistic about what the unveiling of the Maritime Science Education Center could mean for the organization and credits his team of educators and marine life specialists for the ongoing success of Maritime Gloucester. More importantly, De Koster hopes that those looking to visit in the future will see it for the multifaceted community resource that it is: “I want Maritime Gloucester to realize its full potential because it really is limitless. It’s not just a maritime heritage site. It’s not just an organization that celebrates the community…that hosts educational programs. It’s not just an organization that hosts the Gloucester Schooner Festival every year. Maritime Gloucester is all of that, but it is so much more. It is a beloved part of our community and I love talking with people about what we do, because I can see how much they enjoy it as well.” CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

CAPE ANN PROFILES: CAPE ANN MAKERS

ne of the most awesome, meaning “extremely impressive” or “inspiring great admiration,” aspects of Cape Ann is how much is made here. All slang aside, Cape Ann is exploding with talent and if you’re looking for fun (and a side order of education) seek out the makers, a few of whom are highlighted below, and redefine your definition of “awe.” The Bubble Factory—you might think candy making? No, that’s coming up later. It’s actually a fun name for a glass-blowing studio and event space—and it’s hard to imagine a more skill-driven and fascinating artistry. This talented crew of heat-seeking, precision-loving artisans, led by James and Libby McLeod, offers custom fabrication, lighting, architectural installation, and classes—how cool to watch this art form demystified.

Founded on Cape Ann in 2012, you’ll find Rusty & Ingrid stores in Salem and Rockport. It’s amazing how pottery can brighten a room, instill a desire to collect, and, most importantly, remind you of your trip. Even more fun than collecting is throwing the pot or plate yourself. Cynthia Curtis has been making pottery, specializing in “ocean-inspired creations,” from her Rockport studio for 27 years and is an excellent resource for both desires. Ask about classes and/or taking home that special piece that will forever remind you of Cape Ann.

Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse.

TATELY AND STOIC, SIX ICONIC LIGHTHOUSES STAND GUARD ALONG the Cape Ann coastline protecting seafarers from rocky shores and shoals. They offer historians and romantics alike a glimpse into Cape Ann’s maritime lore and legacy. Lighthouses are a comfort to mariners to this day, and despite the use of GPS and electronic aids for navigation they still symbolize home and safety.

GLOUCESTER Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse White light flashing every 7.5 seconds with red sector. Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse (Annisquam Light) was erected in 1801 to mark the entrance to the Annisquam River at Wigwam Point, a popular Native American summer encampment. The river connected Ipswich Bay to Gloucester Harbor following the construction of the Blynman Canal. Annisquam Light’s wooden frame was replaced with the existing 41-foot brick

tower, with a focal plane of 45 feet, in 1897. The lighthouse is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard and is no longer accessible from the nearby village of Annisquam in Gloucester. Best viewing opportunities are by water or from Wingaersheek Beach.

Eastern Point Lighthouse White light flashing every 5 seconds. Eastern Point Lighthouse was erected on Gloucester’s Eastern Point to mark the harbor entrance in 1832. The current brick tower was built in 1890 and is

36 feet tall, with a focal plane of 56 feet. One of the station’s more famous occupants was Winslow Homer. The noted artist spent a year living at the light in 1880. Although not open to visitors, the lighthouse presents a wonderful view, especially from the vantage point of the adjacent Dog Bar Breakwater. Visitors are welcome to walk along or fish from the flat granite blocks atop this massive quarter-mile long structure, which has protected Gloucester Harbor from storms since 1904. The Massachusetts Audubon Society maintains a small parking area near the lighthouse and breakwater as part of its Eastern Point Wildlife Sanctuary. Parking is free for members and $10 per car for nonmembers between Memorial Day and Columbus Day. For more information visit massaudubon.org. CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

Ten Pound Island Lighthouse Equal interval red light every 6 seconds. Located on Ten Pound Island in Gloucester Harbor, the light was constructed in 1821 to mark the island and act as a guide for navigating Gloucester’s inner harbor. Rebuilt in 1881 from cast iron with brick lining, the tower is 30 feet tall with a focal point of 56 feet. Visible from many locations along Gloucester’s waterfront, tiny Ten Pound Island proudly housed America’s first Coast Guard station. The light was restored and relighted through the efforts of the Lighthouse Preservation Society. For more information visit lighthousepreservation.org.

stout 124-foot granite towers (with a focal point of 166 feet above sea level) seen today replaced the original lights in 1861. The two towers, North and South, were constructed and placed so that when a ship puts sights on both towers, they point to true north,

allowing sailors to check and adjust their compasses. The Thacher Island Association provides launch service from T-Wharf in Rockport Harbor to the island during the summer months, with advance reservations. For more information visit thacherisland.org.

ROCKPORT Straitsmouth Island Lighthouse Green light flashing every 6 seconds.

Desi Smith

Straitsmouth Island Lighthouse (Straitsmouth Light) was built in 1835 to mark the entrance to nearby Rockport Harbor. The present brick lighthouse was built in 1896 with a height of 37 feet and a focal plane of 46 feet above sea level. The relatively small lighthouse is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard, yet is owned by the Town of Rockport including the 1.8 acres upon which it sits. The rest of the 31-acre island is owned by the Massachusetts Audubon Society as a bird sanctuary. For more information visit thacherisland.org.

Also known as Cape Ann Light Station, the Twin Lights are the only fully operational multiple lights on the coasts of the United States. The South Tower has a white light flashing five times at 20-second intervals. The North Tower has a red steady light which is maintained by the Thacher Island Association as a “courtesy” memorial light to mariners who have passed away. The original 45-foot towers were constructed and lit in 1771 making them among the oldest of America’s lighthouses. The CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
