Join the Cape Ann Museum Docents for Spring Shorts, a selection of short tours highlighting their favorite parts of the Museum. CAM Docents give hundreds of tours a year including daily highlights tours, summer walking tours, and specialty tours of exhibitions and historic houses.  

Through its collection of artwork and artifacts, the Cape Ann Museum tells multiple stories, all relating to a single remarkable place. As you explore the galleries with the CAM Docents, discover the collection’s many stories with mini gallery tours or “shorts.” Want to learn more about the artist Fitz Henry Lane, the Folly Cove Designers or Cape Ann’s maritime and granite industry? Drop in and listen for as little or long as you like!
