It is home to the Marblehead Neck Wildlife Sanctuary, Crocker Park, Marblehead Lighthouse, Devereux Beach, and the famous painting by Archibald Willard, The Spirit of &#8217;76, on display at Abbot Hall. Though the town has commercial fishing roots, it has become one of the most popular yachting destinations in the world. Founded in 1629, Joseph Doliber first settled in Marblehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dozens of public and private schools in Marblehead, including the renowned Tower School, which serves pre-K through eighth grade. There are also dozens of colleges within 50 miles of Marblehead, including Salem State University. The location is a quick walk from Harbor Ligh Inn, which features a beautiful terrace for outdoor dining. The schools of Boston are just a short drive away, so families can take advantage of the city&#8217;s proximity to the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the historic town center, Marblehead is home to many charming inns, restaurants, and shops. One such inn is the 1729 Samuel Goodwin House, which has managed to maintain its charm while also bringing in modern amenities. It is a charming inn located in the heart of old downtown Marblehead. Its ambiance and location make it an excellent choice for a Boston vacation. Its acclaimed restaurant, the Harbor Light, offers a great view of the waterfront and the historic town center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love history, Marblehead is a perfect vacation destination. The rocky coastline and picturesque mid-eighteenth century buildings give you a sense of history and culture. The town has a laidback New England attitude that will make you feel comfortable during your stay. Marblehead is a great alternative to Cape Cod and Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. The town is known for its quaint nooks, picturesque drives, and its charming ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown&#8217;s Island is the only area of Marblehead where a witch was executed for witchcraft in 1692. Her grave is commemorated with a memorial stone on Pond Street. These memorials are excellent examples of Puritan religious and aesthetic expression, as they represent the lives of many people from the area. Located in Marblehead, this maritime capital is one of the last authentic seacoast towns on the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Marblehead, you can attend a lecture on birdscaping. In this illustrated program, Joan Butler, owner of Enchanted Gardens Designs, will discuss how to create welcoming habitats for birds. Native plants that provide food and nesting sites are essential for birds. By creating layered gardens, she will demonstrate how these gardens can help you attract a variety of different species. She is also an accredited flower show judge.
