STEPPING off the PATHSeveral markers off the main path lead to some of the City’s most famous landmarks. Walk to the Man at the Wheel and Gloucester’s Fishermen’s Wives memorials on the way to Stage Fort Park. Other markers point the way to the views that Edward Hopper and others painted around the city or those referenced in film and literature.
STEP OUT to enjoy Gloucester’s culture.
Each Story Moment notes the Gloucester cultural institutions and guided activities where you can investigate further.
TREAT YOURSELF to a meal at one of our cafes, pubs or restaurants—many with nods to our ethnic cuisines. A choice of award-winning theater, art house cinema, lectures, readings, exhibitions and an exciting range of music choices are presented almost every day and evening year round.
