Classic Trucks at the White-Ellery House

August 4, 2018 @ 11:00 am

Captain Elias Davis House

In the spirit of connecting the past to the present the Museum will display classic trucks on the lawn of the historic White-Ellery House (245 Washington Street in Gloucester). All ages are invited to enjoy a ride down “memory lane” while taking in these classic vehicles as well as the historic house that served as a home until 1947. Local historians and Museum docents will be on hand to share the history of the house with visitors. Drawing, coloring and “I spy” activities will be available for children and families.

This program is free and open to the public. Offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Gone… Fishing: Recent Work by Jeffery Marshall, opening on August 10.

The White-Ellery House was built in 1710 and is one of just a handful of First Period houses in Eastern Massachusetts that survives to this day with much of its interior details intact. The House is open on the first Saturday of the month from June to October. Museum staff and docents are on site on those dates for tours of the House and other activities.
