I attended a plein air event with a friend, hosted by the Cape Ann Plein Air Association. The location was ideal for the demonstration painter who was describing his thought process as he was painting a local historical landmark situated on the grounds of the shipyard.

Fantastic interactive museum. Great for a family visit. Hands on experiences and visually very appealing. Great antiques within walking distances and great restaurants too. Highly highly recommend.

I simply just enjoy small town hidden spots. This is by far the best. Be sure to walk the yard as well.
