New England - Massachusetts
Essex, MA
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Leaving the Cape Ann peninsula on Route 133, you drive through the town of Essex, famous for its several antique shops, where you may find some treasure to take home. If traveling on a Wednesday or Thursday between May and September, you would be well rewarded to detour out to The Great House on the 2,100-acre Crane Estate. Presiding over rolling hills, quiet woods, open meadows, salt marshes, and miles of sandy beach and estuary islands, this 59-room mansion was built by Richard Crane and is preserved as a National Historic Landmark. (Note: the gate house of the Crane Estate has guestrooms available to travelers. See the Hotel Section for its description and more information.)
