Manchester

Manchester Massachusetts also known as Manchester-by-the-Sea is the first Cape Ann community you will find and it is located just twenty miles north of Boston. It is bordered by Beverly, Wenham, Hamilton, Essex and Gloucester. This quaint residential seaside community is positioned around one of the most beautiful New England Harbors on the North Shore, Massachusetts Bay.



This little town originally thrived as a fishing community in the early years, fed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and gradually through development of land and homes became a summer vacation community. Presidents, princes, and ambassadors were among the many distinguished people who vacationed here. The architecture resembled the traditional Queen Anne style with shingled summer cottages along the shoreline. Elegant hotels were built in town which attracted notable persons as well as those from the world of theatre.
