SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Ed & Jo Hopper’s Houses\, Views from Portuguese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 27\, 2025\n10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nCape Ann Museum Courtyard\, Downtown Campus\n27 Pleasant St\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nExplore the specific sites in the area of Gloucester known as Portuguese Hill depicted by renowned American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Hopper is known to have painted in Gloucester on five separate occasions in the first decades of the 20th century. His paintings from this period capture the local landscape and architecture in a loosely rendered\, light-filled style and are considered by many to be some of his finest works. Also included are sites painted by Josephine Nivison Hopper (1883-1968)\, Hopper’s wife and artist in her own right\, whose work gained recognition long before her future husband’s success. Learn how this hillside neighborhood that the Hoppers travelled together inspired their artwork\, as well as the role the area plays in Gloucester history. \nIf you have enjoyed one of our Hopper’s Houses Downtown tours\, the Portuguese Hill tour takes you to another side of the city to see different views. It’s well worth the experience! \nStroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours towards Portuguese Hill and back to downtown Gloucester. This walking tour includes steep stairs and a length of the hill. \nWhere to Meet?\nThough 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. \nPhoto Credit: CAM docent leading walking tour\, CAM staff photo.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown\, A Walk Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 21\, 2025\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930 \n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things — vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years – until it became “Dogtown” and died out. \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown. \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear advised; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as they are not supplied. *This tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \nPhoto Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943).

SUMMARY:The Resurrection of Judy Rhines: An Installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi & Peter Littlefield
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 31\, 2025\n11:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m.\nWhite-Ellery House\, CAM Green\n13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\nFree and open to the public.\nParking is first come first served. \nVisit the White-Ellery House to experience The Resurrection of Judy Rhines\, a site-specific drawing installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi (drawings) and Peter Littlefield (dramaturgy). It is comprised of a series of cardboard dioramas and texts that recount a fictional story about Judy Rhines who\, in 1796\, suddenly disappears after being accused of witchcraft. Some say she died by throwing herself off a Rowan tree. But there have been rumors of sightings of her in the Dogtown Woods. \nA radio play\, The Beginning of the End (of Judy Rhines) by Peter Littlefield\, accompanies the installation. The play is a mystery set in the 1940s. Judy Rhines is a secretary\, until one day\, losing her job and just about everything else\, she learns the ways of a witch. Cast includes Phoebe Potts\, Sarah Hickler\, Michael McNamara\, and Evan Lurie. Recorded and edited by Michael LaMarche. Music by Evan Lurie. \nKathleen Adams will perform her original song\, “Judy’s Lament\,” with words by Peter Littlefield\, at 2pm on Saturdays\, August 23 and 30. \nArtist Bios:\nGabrielle Barzaghi is a visual artist whose work explores the absurdity\, tragedy\, and beauty of the world. Her imagery is evocative of places just beyond the edge of normal experience and has an often otherworldly sensibility about the nature of time and being. Her work is in public and private collections\, including the Cape Ann Museum. She graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and taught drawing at Suffolk University for over 30 years. Barzaghi is represented by Matthew Swift Gallery. Recently her work was shown in the exhibition Lines of Thought / Contemporary Women Artists Draw at Jane Deering Gallery. Curator Judith Tolnick Champa included Barzaghi’s work in the exhibition Reseeding the City / Ethnobotany in the Urban at the Rhode Island State House. Barzaghi’s recent solo show Fear Game was exhibited at the Matthew Swift Gallery. She also made a gigantic drawn backdrop for Peter Littlefield’s staging of the play Dogtown Common. \nPeter Littlefield is a stage director\, playwright\, and dramaturg. He recently staged Percy MacKaye’s Dogtown Common at Windhover\, co-produced by the Gloucester 400+. The backdrop was created by Gabrielle Barzaghi. He adapted and co-staged James M. Barrie’s Peter Pan for the Fisher Center at Bard with director Christopher Alden and stage designer Marsha Ginsberg. He co-directed Handel’s Partenope with Mr. Alden at the English National Opera\, winning the Laurence Olivier Award. His work has appeared at the New York City Opera\, Glimmerglass Opera\, Spoleto Festival\, San Francisco Opera\, Theater Basil\, Prague National Theater\, and other companies in the United States and Europe. He began his career in New York’s downtown. He helped start The Pyramid Club where he staged many original shows. His trilogy of short films\, What She Learned from Plants\, made with Roy Rallo\, screened at the Gloucester Writers Center. He leads a playwrighting workshop there each summer. He studied with Maria Irene Fornes. \nImage Credit: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Judy Rhines\, 2025. Gabrielle Barzaghi\, ink on cardboard. Image courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown\, A Walk Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 17\, 2025\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930 \n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things — vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years – until it became “Dogtown” and died out. \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown. \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear advised; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as they are not supplied. *This tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \nPhoto Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943).
