Preview of New Sculptural Planters By Fishermen’s Memorial

Posted on by Pat D

The Generous Gardeners will be revealing and dedicating the new sculptural planters along the boulevard this Saturday at 3 PM. All are invited to attend the unveiling of the planters sculpted by local artist Chris Williams. I for one, look forward to seeing them grace the Fishermen’s Memorial. More information available here. Saturday is a very busy day but perhaps you can add this event to your day’s itinerary.

Equity in the Archives: How History is Told

 ~ SAWYER FREE LIBRARY

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Cape Ann Museum

On Tuesday, December 12 at 11:00a.m. Cape Ann Museum will be presenting a panel discussion, Equity in the Archives: How History is Told with Julie Travers, Local History Librarian at the Sawyer Free Library; Miranda Aisling, CAM Head of Education & Engagement; and Trenton Carls, CAM Head Librarian & Archivist  

Presented in conjunction with Above the Fold: The Photographers of the “Gloucester Daily Times,” 1973-2005, this panel discussion explores how archives, timelines, and historical language have been newly examined and intentionally expanded during the Gloucester 400+ Anniversary in 2023, which marks 400 years since English settlement. 

Julie Travers, Local History Librarian at the Sawyer Free Library and Miranda Aisling, CAM Head of Education are both members of the Gloucester 400+ Diversity & Equity committee. They will share the efforts that went into drafting the Gloucester 400+ DEIA Framework which has been used by organizations across the region to expand their storytelling during the anniversary year. This framework was used by Travers to help guide the creation of the Gloucester Timeline, a massive undertaking from the Sawyer Free Library in association with the Cape Ann Museum, and by Aisling in the development of the CAM Native Initiative.  

They are joined by Trenton Carls, CAM Head Librarian & Archivist who will share the impact of the 2021 acquisition of an estimated 1 million photographs from the Gloucester Daily Times collection to the CAM Library & Archives. The photographs provide a wide lens on the Gloucester community from 1973-2005, bringing photographs into the Museum’s collections that highlight the breadth of the Cape Ann community during those years. 

The event will take place at Cape Ann Museum located at 27 Pleasant Street, Gloucester, MA.  It is Free for Museum members, $10 for non-members. Click HERE to register. It will also be Livestreamed on Vimeo and Facebook.

Final Fall Foliage — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Some photos of how late fall is playing out.

Even the largest leaves displayed some color before curling up for the winter.
Milkweed plants grew their season ending seed pods.
When ready, the pods opened to expose the seeds.
Their floss fluffed above each seed, and waited for the wind.
Which carried them away for propogation.
This tree was determined to keep “red” alive until the end.
We walked by a single, tiny, last rose for most of a month.
The invasive phragmite looked delicate in the backlit sun.
Foliage tempered by the ocean was the last to turn.
Yellow was the color of choice for most maples, with trunks dressed in ivy.
A little snow added a white accent to fallen wet leaves.
Snow made frosting on red berries for our wintering robins.

Mini Lobster Trap Tree on Main St.

Posted on by Pat D

The cutest little replacement mini lobster trap tree is occupying the traditional spot next to the police station. I assume it’s holding the spot for future Lobster Trap Trees.
