A Special Experience
We are thrilled to offer a unique North Shore experience just for members at our Patron and higher levels! Enjoy a two-hour walking tour of Nahant led by Chris Mathias, past president of the Nahant Historical Society and co-author of “Images of America: Nahant,”along with Ken Turino, vice president of The Gables’ board of directors.
Nahant, the smallest municipality in Massachusetts at only 1.4 square miles on two islands, makes up for its size with its rich history. Originally part of Lynn, it became independent in 1853 over “cocktails.” Did you know, Nahant and Nahant Beach are mentioned several times in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, “The Village Uncle” from “Twice-Told-Tales?”
On this tour, members will see the homes of prominent citizens, amazing ocean views, and learn about lighthouse which once stood on Egg Rock. The history of East Point as the site of a resort hotel, a family estate, and as a military coastal defense installation, complete with Nike missiles, will be discussed. This not-to-be-missed event concludes with a glass of Prosecco on Chris and Ken’s terrace overlooking the ocean.
This special experience for Patron-level and higher members takes place onSaturday, April 24 at 2 p.m. (rain date May 1). This tour will accommodate a total of eight participants to ensure social distancing and will sell out. A second tour may be added.
If you are not yet a Patron-level Member ($150 or higher) contact Geneva Cann at gcann@7gables.org or 978-306-7021 to upgrade and register for this event.
