Jones River

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Rick and I went out Kayaking on Wednesday and it was incredible.  We are having so much fun exploring.

The Annisquam River offers pretty, protected paddling and acres of marshland to  explore at high tide. Novices can find scenic and quiet paddling on the Jones  River and in Lobster Cove. More adventurous kayakers can paddle into Ipswich Bay  to visit sandy Wingaersheek Beach or the many rocky coves along Gloucester’s  northern coast. Paddlers of all skill levels can enjoy this diverse and  interesting area.

Walking around the Hammond Castle

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

John Hays Hammond, Jr. built his medieval-style castle between the years 1926
and 1929 to serve both as his home and as a backdrop for his collection of
Roman, medieval, and Renaissance artifacts. The castle was constructed as a
wedding present for his wife Irene Fenton Hammond to prove how much he cared for
her.   In addition, the building housed the Hammond Research Corporation, from
which Dr. Hammond produced over 400 patents and the ideas for over 800
inventions.  Second only to Thomas Alva Edison in number of patents, John
Hammond was one of America’s premier inventors.  His most important work was the
development of remote control via radio waves, which earned him the title, “The
Father of Remote Control.”
