This one-hour, visual journey is largely based on Cape Ann Museum’s vast, historic photograph collection. The presentation is extensively researched and illustrates a lovely and short-lived time gone by, c1900. Learn about the 15 hotels, who they served, and what happened to them. Susan will take you around the East Gloucester peninsula to a world where guests stayed, not for a week, but for a season. Understand how the land changed from one of farms and pastures to a center of resort life, and became the most dense area of summer hotels between Boston and Maine.
*Doors will close 15 minutes after the start of the lecture. After this time, we cannot guarantee your seat.
