If you’ve spent the night in the Salem and Marblehead area, you’ll now be facing the choice of a second day on the North Shore or moving onward into Maine. I recommend that you drive to Gloucester to visit Beauport, the Cape Ann Historical Museum, and, if time permits, the Hammond Castle Museum. My favorite of these three is Beauport, the 40-room home designed and decorated by Henry Davis Sleeper. Beauport is open from May to September and guided one-hour tours are available. If decor is of interest to you, this visit would be one you’ll never forget. This is one of the many fine houses that are owned by the SPNEA (Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities) and a tour of several of these properties throughout New England would be well worth an itinerary all of its own. For details contact SPNEA at 617-227-3956, or visit their website at www.spnea.com.
