Free webinar: “Dangerous Tempotation or Genuine Opportunity: ‘Factory Girls’ in Fact and Fiction”
New England parents in the 19th century nervously allowed their daughters to leave the countryside for work in the textile mills of the new era. For young women it was a unique opportunity to participate in the growing cash economy, help support their families, and experience life outside the home. Did work in the textile factories represent a step forward in women’s independence? The mills and mill-towns were full of disease, dangerous machinery and duplicitous men! The conjunction of innocent young females and the rough life of the mills generated reams of sensational fiction in the 19th century—lurid tales warning young women to stay home if they wished to avoid ruin. In her illustrated talk, Elizabeth DeWolfe, professor of history at the University of New England, explores the promise and the perils of 19th century factory work for women through the essays, poetry and prose of the era. DeWolfe is…

Museum welcomes Miranda Aisling as new Education Manager
GLOUCESTER, MASS. (February 2021) – The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to welcome Miranda Aisling as the new Education Manager. Her mission is to reconnect art to daily life, a purpose she brings to her new work developing programs for the Museum including a new virtual lecture series this month.
“As a practicing artist and community organizer, I believe that creativity is an innate human skill,” says Aisling. “Some people suppress it, others develop it, but everyone has it. In my new role at the Cape Ann Museum, I’m excited to create avenues to celebrate and amplify the incredible creativity in this community, both past and present.”
Among one of her first initiatives, in response to the continued state-wide limit on large gatherings, is to bring the Museum’s gallery talks online with the CAM Virtual Lecture Series. The first such event was held on January 29.

Compare/Contrast Key West vs Playa Del Carmen
Similar type destinations.
Key West Pros:
Easy to get to direct flight from BOS land and 5 minute cab ride to Duval St. Pro tip Uber if you have 3 or more people in your party. Cab charges $9 per person, Uber was $22 for 4 of us.
Easy to get around/walkable town- Pro Tip Rent a golf cart for lots of fun, never an issue to park it wherever we wanted.
A ton of dining/drinking options.
Friendly Laid Back Attitude.
Clean. They wash down the streets every night.
Key West Cons:
Not great swimming beaches with the few that are there, coral can mess up your feet.
In relation to Playa Del Carmen 2-3 times more expensive for food/drink/accommodations.
Slightly smaller beach weather window (can be cool in February, January)
Playa Del Carmen Pros:
Very inexpensive- $10 buckets of beer on the beach. Great street food all the way up to fine dining options all very reasonably if not cheaply priced. Wider range of dining options with some excellent chefs.
Easy to get around/walkable area around 5th Ave.
Some AirBNB’s that are brand new, enormous and half the cost of Key West Motel accommodations.
Gorgeous white sand beaches/ great beach clubs that serve food and drinks and have great beach chairs for free as long as you order food/ music.
Friendly Laid Back Attitude
Beach weather throughout the year.
Playa Del Carmen Cons:
Harder to get to: Direct flight to Cancun/customs/40 minute cab to Playa Del Carmen is a 6.5 hour deal but not impossible. Pro tip: set up your cab from airport to Playa Del Carmen in advance $($60 vs $100 if you get a cab at airport without having it pre-set up)
Not dirty but not pristine like Key West
Occasional street urchin asking you if you want to buy weed/coke can be unsettling to someone that doesn’t know to just walk past them. None are aggressive.
