The North Shore

Join us for this two-day, one-night journey along the beautiful North Shore of Massachusetts, and explore one charming town after the next as we travel along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway. On this trip we will experience an interactive play bringing you into the scene of the Salem witch trials, visit the stunning home of one of America’s first professional interior designers, where each of the forty rooms is distinguished by a historical or literary figure, theme, color, shape, or object, and each room is more visually dazzling than the last. We will enjoy a late afternoon private sail on a handsome schooner off the coast of Cape Ann, before sitting down for dinner in picturesque Gloucester harbor. On the second day we will stroll through the delightful little peninsula of Bearskin Neck in Rockport with its lovely cafes, galleries, and shops, and tour the incredible Castle Hill on the Crane Estate. Then, we will cap off this wonderful trip with dinner in lovely Newburyport, which has a downtown that belongs on a movie set. Gorgeous towns, harbors, and homes await you on the North Shore, and we are going to bring you to the prettiest of them all!
