Description
Cape Ann's rich history, maritime and otherwise, is the focus of the Cape Ann Historical Museum in downtown Gloucester. Explore the region's fishing and granite quarrying heritage through old photographs, vivid portraits and tools of the trade housed in related galleries, get a glimpse of life for the average citizen through the decorative arts on show, from period furnishings to fine art in the Captain Elias Davis House adjoining, and be sure to enjoy the serene landscapes on exhibit (like those by Fitz Henry Lane) that form part of the museum's permanent collection. Changing exhibits regularly feature works by more contemporary regional artists, check the calendar for information.
