Middle Street in Gloucester is the site of many early colonial homes with connections to the American Revolution. Come learn about these historical buildings and the stories of the people who built and lived in them.

Join us Thursdays for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Center, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience.
