Presentation by Susan Morreale
THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE – HISTORIC SUMMER HOTELS OF EAST GLOUCESTER
GLOUCESTER STAGE
267 E. Main Street, E. Gloucester, MA
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19
6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
This 90-minute 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 densest area of summer hotels between Boston and Maine.
Doors open at 5:30. Lobby bar will be available for purchases.
