Waterfront Reflections: Gloucester’s Harbor Village Walking Tour
Saturday, October 18, 2025
10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Cape Ann Museum Courtyard, Downtown Campus
27 Pleasant St, Gloucester, MA, 01930
$10 for CAM Members, $20 for non-members
Registration Required: https://www.capeannmuseum.org/event/waterfront-reflections-gloucesters-harbor-village-walking-tour-3/
This walking tour looks at changes in Gloucester’s Harbor Village as it advanced from the home of a few to the workplace of many during the late 18th to early 20th centuries. A mix of structures past and present, heroes, art, and waterfront activity all inform the picture of the diverse and vibrant community that emerged along the shore of Le Beauport, the beautiful port.
Stroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours as you loop around downtown Gloucester. Please note that some sidewalks on the tour are rugged and uneven and not all fit the width of wheelchairs or walkers. This walking tour has some elevation changes.
Where to Meet?
Though the Downtown Campus is currently closed for renovations until the spring of 2026, the tour will gather at the courtyard attached to the Museum on 27 Pleasant Street. Tours are light rain or shine.
