Walking Tour: Patriots and Privateers of Revolutionary Middle Street

Cape Ann Museum Courtyard, Downtown Campus 27 Pleasant St, Gloucester, MA, 01930 $10 for CAM Members, $20 for non-members <a href="https://115461a.blackbaudhosting.com/115461a/Walking-Tour-Patriots-and-Privateers-of-Revolutionary-Middle-Street">Registration Required</a> As a seaport town jutting into the Atlantic, Gloucester was of strategic importance&nbsp;during the American Revolution and always under threat of attack. The people of the town stood ready to take action against the British, and many of them did. In this walking tour down Middle Street — one of Gloucester’s oldest streets – we will step back in time to meet&nbsp;people who were witness to Revolution right from this spot; see where they lived and gathered, in houses still standing today; and hear the stories of the roles they played in defending liberty, as patriots, privateers, preachers and more. This tour was developed in conjunction with the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. Stroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours as you walk Middle Street in downtown Gloucester. Where to Meet? Though the Downtown Campus is currently closed for renovations until the spring of 2026, the tour will gather at the courtyard attached to the Museum on 27 Pleasant Street. Tours are light rain or shine. Photo Credit: CAM docent leading walking tour rain or shine, CAM staff photo.
