Rocky Neck Historic Walking Tour
Sunday, July 7  – 11AM – 12:30 PM

11 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, MA 01930
(parking lot near the entrance to Rocky Neck)

Join a knowledgeable volunteer guide for a walking tour showcasing both the rich history of Rocky Neck as well as the contributions and achievements of the present community. Building on the original Rocky Neck Historic Art Trail, the tour takes visitors on a journey from the time when the native Pawtucket people lived on Rocky Neck to today. The path includes many of the diverse subjects that have enriched and continue to enrich today’s community: native inhabitants, fishermen, industry, ships, tourism, transportation, celebrations, education, entertainment, and of course, the artists. 

Tours last 1 – 1.5 hours and cover approximately .75 miles. Tours begin at the Rocky Neck Parking Lot and end at the Salted Cod Arthouse, 53 Rocky Neck Ave. Tour participants are encouraged to park in the parking lot at the entrance to Rocky Neck where a volunteer tour guide meets the group. Tours are limited to 15 people and are free for Rocky Neck Art Colony Members or $15 for nonmembers. Join RNAC at https://rockyneckartcolony.org/become-a-member/. Comfortable shoes are encouraged. Be prepared to walk on uneven terrain.
