Cape Ann License Plate

The prettiest stretch of coastline in all of Massachusetts, Cape Ann offers you big-city culture mixed with small-town charm and exciting activities.

Cape Ann is one of the last great unspoiled places. Founded by Pilgrims in 1623, named for England’s Queen Anne, the cape sprouted villages along its coast, leaving its whole center a wild wood. Every curve of its rugged coastline shows off a new scenic beauty: harbors, lighthouses, islands, miles of sandy beaches, quarries, inlets and coves, all so picturesque that moviemakers film here constantly. Visit capeannvacations.com for more info on the region.

69 is currently still available for all the people that have been writing in asking-

Russell Orchard in the Summertime

Posted on by Pat D

It has come to my attention that not everyone knows about Russell Orchard on Argilla Road in Ipswich! While it’s especially delightful to visit in the fall, it’s also a wonderful place to stop in the summer months. There are baked goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, local wines and other goods. We just love stopping by to see what’s new. On our recent visit, we were looking for yellow tomatoes in order to try a new Bloody Mary recipe. Success! Sorry we didn’t bring back any fresh donuts for you Joey!
