After my shift at Gloucester’s Visitors’ Center, the clouds were forming and the Eastern Point looked pretty.

The vibrant Battle of Bunker Hill 250 reenactment was artfully portrayed at Stage Fort Park. After the Battle, more work! And smiles! #GloucesterMA

How hot was the weather on June 17, 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill?

Stage Fort Park came alive with hundreds of participants this weekend, each reenactor draped in layers of colorful, authentic period attire, creating an immersive spectacle worthy of a PBS miniseries. On this sweltering Sunday, the anniversary week of the fateful 1775 battle, spectators experienced firsthand how arduous the fighting must have been, getting a tangible sense of the summer conditions, too. Saturday there was a breeze. Participants found shade where they could. How hot were the tents? The temperature dipped into the 60s on Friday and Saturday and participants told me sleeping there was great.

Flashlight Apple TV

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Stage Fort Park on Tuesday was busy. Apple TV’s series Flashlight was filming an episode. Lots of activity and equipment and staff were in the parking lot, beach and on the grass. It is fascinating how much goes into the production.

By the way, I did not get discovered.

Reblogged from Carol Mondello

Hello All,

We are canceling the Open House for tonight due to the storm. We are looking into rescheduling it and will let you know.

We are officially OPEN at 9am tomorrow!   Happy to see so many people for training so far and looking forward to seeing others today. I will actually be in the center until 3pm today if you want to stop by at any point.

Thank you all who came out to clean Stage Fort Park

On April 12, 2025,  we cleaned Stage Fort Park in the rain and wind.  It was fine and there were many folks who came out.  Many others were there as well that were not in the photo.  Thank you, Rebecca, for the photo.

Winter fun

On Saturday and Sunday, Stage Fort Park was full of fun.  Lots of kids sledding and enjoying the snow.

At Niles Pond, a hockey game was happening.  I love the photo of the little girl with her hockey stick ready to play.  The ice sailing looks like lots of fun.
