Our Neighborhoods. Our Stories.

Mayor Lundberg will provide opening remarks. After, join neighbors for a game of Gloucester Neighborhood Jeopardy!
Light refreshments will be served.
About:
This project will gather first-hand accounts from longtime residents, community leaders, and underrepresented voices through recorded oral history interviews. Mapping Memory will build a digital archive of interviews, transcripts, and mementos documenting life in Annisquam, Bay View, Downtown, East Gloucester, Folly Cove, Lanesville, Magnolia, Riverdale, Riverview, and West Gloucester from the 20th century to today.
At this kickoff event, learn how the project works, explore ways to volunteer and participate, and help shape the stories we preserve. Whether you have lived in Gloucester for decades, recently arrived, or simply want to learn more about the community, your memories are an important part of Gloucester’s history.
Come share ideas, connect with neighbors, and help map Gloucester’s memories—one story at a time.
