Historical Places, Historic, Interesting Places, Historic Districts, Historic Settlements

Rocky Neck is one of the oldest continuously operating art colonies in the United States. Located on a rocky peninsula within Gloucester's working harbor, Rocky Neck is known for its quaint neighborhood and many art galleries and studios.

Artists including Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and many others working on Rocky Neck in the 19th and early 20th centuries inspired the Cape Ann style of American Impressionism. Working artists still work and display their work in Rocky Neck galleries during the summer months.

Gloucester Marine Railways, located at the very end of Rocky Neck, was established in 1859, making it one of the oldest working shipyards in the country.
