Thank you, Joe, for spreading the word to the community about these very deserving people and their contributions to preserving Gloucester’s history. Included are photos of Maggie Rosa receiving her Lifetime Acheivement award from Commission member and Local History Librarian, Julie Travers; and Rosandra Oliva and Angela Sanfilippo proudly displaying their award.
On Saturday, May 16, the Historical Commission held their 17th annual Preservation Awards Ceremony honoring 11 recipients who showcased their extraordinary preservation projects.
They spoke passionately about their achievements which varied from historical tours and presentations to the challenges of maintaining Schooner Adventure.
Perhaps most heartfelt was Angela Sanfilippo’s speaking of the myriad activities of the Fishermen’s Wives Association in supporting the fishing industry, fishermen, and their families, particularly given this year’s January loss of the crew of the Lily Jean.
The event included the singing of a sea ballad, led by honoree, Michael O’Leary; an impassioned explanation of Project Elm by Nathan Ives; tributes to Lanesville lives beyond the headstones by Russell and Melissa Hobbs; recognition of Cape Ann veterans through Jason Grow’s photography; an understanding of the research and filming behind Cape Ann Timeline, by Kory Curcuru; Rich Carlson’s documentation of the former Rockaway Hotel and Ten Pound Island; developer Carlo A. Barbara’s historically-sensitive restoration of the 1790 building at 9 Washington Street; and encouragement to obtain a historic house plaque and use the historic house plaque map by Susan Morreale.
The ceremony ended on a high note with Maggie Rosa receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award for her 26 years of advocacy, collaboration, and leadership in safeguarding Gloucester’s historic resources. Maggie has been a force in contributing to Gloucester’s history, particularly during her years as chair of the Historical Commission and chair of the City Hall Restoration Committee, among many other activities. It was under Maggie’s leadership of the Historical Commission in 2004 that the Preservation Awards ceremony began, and thus her award was an especially fitting tribute.
All current Historical Commission members were on hand to welcome guests and to alternate introducing the award winners at the podium, where a brief slide show accompanied each of their presentations. Award recipients received a framed certificate from the Commission and will be receiving a citation from Rep. Dru Tarr in the mail.
The Commission was grateful to Sawyer Free Library who accommodated the event in their beautiful, new community room and to 1623 Studios who recorded the ceremony.
Materials from the afternoon will be made available on the Commission’s website at: https://gloucester-ma.gov/112/Preservation-Awards.

Need Better Sleep? CBD and CBN may help with their remarkable sleep promoting properties!
When it comes to sleep, not all cannabinoids are created equal. However, here are three cannabinoids that may influence your sleep patterns:
CBD
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound popular for its potential therapeutic benefits. One of its well-studied properties is its anti-inflammatory effect. It also possesses remarkable sleep-promoting properties due to its ability to calm the mind and body.
CBD also doesn’t make you high. Instead, it helps you relax and unwind, which could prove beneficial if you struggle with falling and staying asleep. Research suggests that CBD may help reduce anxiety, which can be a major barrier to falling asleep.
CBN
CBN (cannabinol), on the other hand, is a mildly psychoactive compound that forms when THC breaks down. It is known as the “sleepy cannabinoid in old weed” because users claim it induces sedation, which helps them to sleep.
Like CBD, CBN is often touted for its potential sedative effects. Some users report that CBN helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. However, research on CBN’s sleep-promoting effects is limited, and more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
Please visit us Fridays or Saturdays 11-4 at 12 Rogers Street Gloucester or call for a Free Consultation or private appointment.
Get a free consultation and grab some free samples and see for yourself if CBD can improve the quality of your life.

~ Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute ~
Our Summer STEM programs are one-week courses designed to give students hands-on science experience in a biotechnology laboratory.
We are thrilled to announce that this year, we are partnering with Maritime Gloucester for our new program, From Harbor to Helix: Training in Environmental DNA. During this one-week course, students will dive into authentic marine science by collecting environmental samples using hands-on sampling techniques. Back in the lab, students will analyze their samples using industry-standard biotechnology methods, including micropipetting, DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, PCR, and DNA metabarcoding. This immersive experience connects fieldwork to cutting-edge molecular biology, giving students a firsthand look at how scientists study biodiversity and marine ecosystems from sample to sequence.
The course is taught by Gloucester Biotechnology Academy and Maritime Gloucester staff, and does not require any previous science or lab experience. Each student will have ample guidance and support in these real-world investigations.
Registration is open to rising 9th graders through seniors who graduated in 2026 who are interested in real-world science and learning in a hands-on environment.
Want to learn more? Please visit our website or contact Hannah Lister for more information.
Good Morning Gloucester
