Gloucester
calls itself "America's Oldest Seaport." It is still known
for fishing and fish packing. The famous
|
|
Fishermen's Memorial Statue
here, also known as "the man at the wheel," is depicted in the
Gorton's logo. Of course, you will find some outstanding seafood
restaurants here.

Hammond
Castle was built by inventor John Hammond in the 1920s to look like a
traditional medieval stone castle. The tour is interesting.
You
will be able to see some of the lighthouses from town, but we are not
aware of any tours that allow you inside them. Contact

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
