Did you know that the stagecoach began service to and from Annisquam in 1849 and ceased operation in 1893 when trolleys took over. The stagecoach office was located on Washington St. James Cunningham ran the stagecoach line between Annisquam and Gloucester until the Civil War broke out in 1861 and he became the first lieutenant of the 32nd Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers. This stagecoach is located upstairs at the Annisquam Historical Society (old fire house) in Annisquam Village (can’t figure out how they got it there).

I haven’t seen this for years – beautiful. I’d always heard that Gert Griffin’s father drove the Annisquam stagecoach (Gert lived next door to us when I was a kid). Anyone know for sure?

My great aunt was Gert Griffin and she always told us when we were kids that her father or grandfather drove the stagecoach and loved to take me and my sister is sit in it.

My mother’s grandfather drove this stagecoach and her maiden name was Griffin. Her father drove the trolley between Lanesville and Rockport. I have a photo of the trolley and will try to find it.
