SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 9\, 2025\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members \nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things—vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years—until it became “Dogtown” and died out.  \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown.  \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear advised; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as they are not supplied. Please note that this tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \n  \nPhoto Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943). Summer Outward Bound\, Gloucester\, 1931\, oil on board.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Ed & Jo Hopper's Houses – Views from Portuguese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 24\, 2026\n10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nDowntown Campus\n27 Pleasant Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nCAM Members $15\, Non-Members $25.\nRegistration Required \nExplore the specific sites in the area of Gloucester known as Portuguese Hill depicted by renowned American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Hopper is known to have painted in Gloucester on five separate occasions in the first decades of the 20th century.

Also included are sites painted by Josephine Nivison Hopper (1883-1968)\, Hopper’s wife and artist in her own right\, whose work gained recognition long before her future husband’s success. Learn how this hillside neighborhood that the Hoppers travelled together inspired their artwork\, as well as the role the area plays in Gloucester history. \nIf you have enjoyed our Walking Tour: Hopper’s Houses Downtown\, this tour focused on Portuguese Hill takes you to another side of the city to see different views. It’s well worth the experience! \nStroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours towards Portuguese Hill and back to downtown Gloucester. Please note that this walking tour includes steep stairs and a length of the hill; some sidewalks on the tour are rugged and uneven and not all fit the width of wheelchairs or walkers.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown­ – A Walk Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 8\, 2026\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nCAM Members $15\, Non-Members $25.\nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things—vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years—until it became “Dogtown” and died out.  \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown.  \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear advised; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as they are not supplied. Please note that this tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \nImage Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943). Summer Outward Bound\, Gloucester\, 1931\, oil on board.
