Continued from Page 4 Its a certainty that each summer, as July turns into August, food vendors set up in Market Square, shops host sidewalk sales along State and Pleasant streets, and crowds descend upon Market Landing Park for the concerts that fill the waterfront with music. The eight-day festival offers many beloved staple events, like Old-Fashioned Sunday atBartlet Mall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 28, consisting of fun, family activities from days gone by. Also a favorite is the daylongCraft Show at Market Square on Tuesday, July 30, a juried craft show with handmade items from some of the most talented artisans in New England. Other events return this year, like the coronation of the Senior King and Queen and Family Day at Maudslay, which includes activities for kids of all ages at one of Newburyports most beautiful venues, Maudslay State Park, located on the Merrimack River. Waterfront concerts throughout the week provide a wonderful opportunity to pick up or pack up something good to eat, and listen to great music with family and friends. Those with a competitive spirit arent left out. Thousands of runners will pound the pavement on local streets on Tuesday, July 30, for Yankee Homecomings annual 10-mile/5K road race, with the whole city cheering them on. And Thursday evenings Lions Club Bed Race simply is not to
be missed. Heritage tours, an antiques show, a Brewfest and any of the dozens of other activities on Yankee Homecomings daily schedule provide something for every imaginable taste. The week draws to a close on Saturday night, Aug. 3, with a spectacular fireworks display, and the finale, the Yankee Homecoming Parade, on Sunday, Aug. 4. Yankee Homecomings calendar of events is added to frequently, and a complete schedule of events can be found by visiting http://www. yankeehomcoming.com.

The Custom Collectors Office features their office equipment, unique artifacts from faraway voyages and a remarkable portrait collection of early Newburyport sea captains. The Brown Gallery holds the museums collection of shipwreck and salvage items. The Baker Gallery, a diorama of the Currier shipyard, transports visitors to the 19th-century Newburyport shipyard that built more ships than any other U.S. shipyard of its time.

It features a 19th-century garden, plantings, rolling meadows and towering pines, along with one of the largest naturally occurring stands of mountain laurel in the state.

Theater in the Open returns this summer with new acts

NEWBURYPORT Begun in 1979, Theater in the Opens mission was to transform the magical tradition of storytelling into theater by using puppetry, pageantry, music, movement and acting. For example, on the third Saturday of every month this summer, Family Hour is back. Parents are encouraged to bring the kids and a blanket to lovely Maudslay State Park to enjoy storytelling, song, dance, fairy tale theater and fun group activities. Family Hour begins at 11 a.m., and its all free, although the parking fee at Maudslay is $2. From June 1 through June 23, children can welcome back the exciting upside-down world of Princess Pirate Panto. This year, hit the seas in search of adventure, buried treasure and maybe a dance or two. Dust off the eyepatch and tiara, its time to boo or cheer for Princess Panto. Directed by Theater in the Opens artistic director Edward Speck, the show is free, starts at 2 p.m. and takes place at Maudslay State Park. Theatre in the Open is proud to partner with Circus Smirkus again this year with its production of Oz Incorporated!

Parker River refuge offers scenic vistas

PLUM ISLAND Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is one of more than 540 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System administrated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Parker River was established in 1942 to provide feeding, resting and nesting habitat for migratory birds. Located along the Atlantic flyway, the refuge is a vital stop-over point for waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds. In addition to providing habitat for birds, the refuge is also home to a variety of mammals, insects, fish, reptiles and amphibian species. Today, the mission of the refuge has been expanded to include the protection of threatened and endangered species and wildlife-dependent recreation where appropriate. The refuge encompasses the southern two-thirds of Plum Island and is located in Newburyport, Newbury, Rowley and Ipswich. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset and offers two public use areas. The main public use area is on Plum Island via Sunset Drive. The second is a short trail at Nelsons Island off Stackyard Road in Rowley. An entrance fee of $5 per car or $2 per walker or biker is in effect year-round at the Plum Island section of the refuge. Beginning April 1, the majority of the refuge beach is closed to provide undisturbed nesting and feeding habitat for the piping plover. Portions of the beach not being used by the these tiny shorebirds may be reopened starting in July. Typically, all sections of the refuge are reopened by mid- to late August. Located at 6 Plum Island Turnpike, the refuges visitors center offers educational and entertaining exhibits and information about piping plover recovery, invasive species, migratory birds (including an indoor bird observation area), salt marshes and more. The visitor center also has a gift shop, an auditorium that shows an introductory video to the refuge and a set of classrooms used for meetings, field trips and interpretive programs. Open each day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the visitor center is located just before the Plum Island Airfield and the Wilkinson Bridge and directly across from the Massachusetts Audubon Joppa Flats Education Center. The refuges administrative office is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Visitors can get refuge passes and permits from the administrative office. For more information, call 978-465-5753.

Boating, fishing options aplenty in region

For those who enjoy boating and fishing, the greater Newburyport area has a lot to offer.
FISHING
The fish that draws thousands of anglers to local shores is the striped bass, a large gamefish that can be caught using bait or tackle. Locally, the season heats up around Mothers Day, and gradually slows down as the fish migrate northward to cooler waters. Typically by mid-June the striped bass have moved on. Within a few weeks, bluefish move in. These notoriously aggressive game fish often attack baitfish in blitzes, causing the water to appear to boil with activity. A blitz is one of the most exciting events a fisherman can experience. In September, the waters begin to cool and the striped bass return, along with large numbers of bluefish and other species, including tuna. This is viewed by many fishermen as the best time of year to fish in local waters. For anglers who prefer to fish from the shoreline, theres lots of places that have proved to be successful spots. Plum Island beach and Salisbury beach are popular, particularly along the mouth of the Merrimack River. Fishing is often good at Newburyports Cashman Park and Amesburys Deer Island and Alliance Park. Anglers who prefer to fish from a boat should check with local bait shops and fishing blogs for the latest reports on the hot spots. For those who prefer to head farther out to sea to catch deepwater fish, such as cod, there are numerous charter boat services available, among them Captains Fishing Parties of Newburyport, Eastmans in Seabrook and Al Gauron Deep Sea Fishing in Hampton.
The area is also rich with bait and tackle shops, among them Kays Surfland on Plum Island.
BOATING
If you own a boat or kayak, you are in luck. There are two state boat ramps in the area with ample parking and easyto-use launch ramps. Cashman Park, off Merrimac Street in Newburyport, is the busiest ramp in the state. Launching fees are $5, and the ramp places your boat in the Merrimack River, just upstream of downtown Newburyport. Salisbury Beach State Reservation has a launch ramp close to the mouth of the Merrimack River, with an admission/launching fee of $9. Kaya ke r s h ave m o r e options, including a ramp on Water Street in Newburyport
File photos
that provides access to the Merrimack River, and a launching spot on the Plum Island Turnpike that provides access to the Plum Island River. There are additional ramps in the area, some of which are restricted to residents only. Boaters and kayakers unfamiliar with local waters would be well advised to study charts and ask for information on local conditions. The Merrimack River
- particularly at its mouth - can be dangerous. Boat rentals are available through businesses such as Freedom Boat Club in Newburyport. Kayak rentals are available locally as well. For those who prefer to leave the captains chair to someone else, Newburyport harbor and Seabrook harbor both offer several charter boats, whale-watching boats and local scenery tours.

Plum Island beaches a summertime delight

PLUM ISLAND An 11-mile barrier island just off the Massachusetts northeast coast, Plum Island attracts an eclectic mix of summer and year-round residents looking for an escape to its miles of public beaches. The island, divided among four cities and towns Newburyport, Newbury, Rowley and Ipswich also attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including birds from around the world, making it a nationally renowned birdwatchers haven. The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, located on the southern half of Plum Island, is home to more than 300 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and plants, spread over its 4,662 acres. The refuge allows for many recreational and education opportunities, including wildlife observation and photography, hunting, fishing, shellfishing and environmental education. For information on Parker River activities, visit parkerriver. fws.gov/ or call 978-465-5753. Sandy Point State Reservation is a 77-acre park at the very southern tip. The park is one of the states most beautiful coastal beaches, though many of them are closed in the summer months to protect the nesting piping plover. Walking, beachcombing, fishing and birding are allowed at the park, which can be accessed through the abutting Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The reservation opens a half-hour before sunrise and closes at 8 p.m. Visit mass. gov/dcr/parks/northeast/sndp. htm or call 978-462-4481 for information. Northern Plum Island Beach is accessible from several points along Northern Boulevard. Paid parking lots provide the best access, the largest being at the northern end of the island, in Newburyport. Friends of the Plum Island Light also offer tours of the Newburyport Harbor Light, also known as the Plum Island lighthouse. The lighthouse dates back to the 18th century when Newburyport was an important shipping port. The lighthouse was built when shifting channels made the mouth of the Merrimack River dangerous to navigate, so the General Court of Massachusetts authorized the building of two small wooden lighthouses on Plum Islands north end in 1788. Lighthouse tours are June 17, July 8, Aug. 4, Sept. 2, Sept. 30. The tours are open to adults and children 5 years and older, who must be 42 inches or taller. They run from 1 to 4 p.m., weather permitting. Sneakers are required, and there is a short ladder to climb. Tours are free, but donations are appreciated.

Salisbury celebrates 375th anniversary on Sept. 21

SALISBURY Early in September in 1638, a group of 12 men received permission to begin a plantation on the northern bank of the Merrimack River, near the spot where it spills out into the Atlantic Ocean. Only two years later, that community, first known as Colchester, would be incorporated as Salisbury. Large in size, initially the towns borders encompassed what are now the communities of Salisbury, Amesbury and Merrimac, as well as the New H a m p s h i r e t ow n s o f Seabrook, South Hampton, Newton, Hampstead, Plaistow and Kingston, until Salisburys new town line was drawn up in the late 1800s. File photo With good land for farming, valuable salt marsh for fishing, hunting and haying, as well as the beauty and commerce of its ocean and river access and location on the early travel routes between Boston and Portsmouth, Salisbury was positioned to prosper. And it did, through a number of incarnations over the centuries. Salisbury will celebrate its 375th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 21, on Salisbury Green, where the settlement was originally centered. The date corresponds with Essex National Heritage Commissions Sails & Trails weekends, and it will feature many historical aspects of Salisbury, such as tours of the Salisbury Historical Societys Parsons House Museum, right across the street from Salisbury Green, and a slide show on the history of Salisbury Beach.

Castle Hill hosts summer concert series

IPSWICH Thousands flock to the popular Thursday night concert series at Castle Hill each July and August. Concerts kick off July 11 this year with the rock funk band Entrain. On Aug. 8, the evenings concert by the Beantown Swing Orchestra is preceded by a group swing dance lesson. The concerts are always a family-friendly affair; attendees often spread out with blankets, chairs and picnic suppers or walk the grounds before the music starts. The historic Crane Estate on Argilla Road has hosted a summer concert series for close to two decades. The 59-room mansion at Castle Hill was built in 1928 as the summer estate of Richard T. Crane Jr., who was one of the wealthiest Americans of his day. The property was gifted to The Trustees of Reservations by the Crane family in 1949 and the nonprofit now maintains the estate, as well as neighboring Crane Beach. Admission to the summer concerts is first come, first served and organizers recommend arriving no later than 6 p.m.

On one level, Gloucesters new HarborWalk offers a pleasant guide along parts of the historic waterfront of Americas Oldest Seaport. But those who stop and check out the Walks 42 granite story moment markers will quickly find it is much more than that. It is, in fact, a walk and guide through this citys historic past, with visits with its many iconic artists, adventurers and other characters. And visitors of all ages will enjoy revisiting these historic moments and Gloucesters people of the past while being guided with the technology of the present and future. Indeed, the HarborWalk hauls Gloucesters tourism boldly into the digital, mixed-media modern age, with the 42 granite story moments conveying perspectives on this ancient yet also current fishing port at the touch of an iPhone or other mobile device. The entree to the walk and the stopping stations at any point is free, with a smartphone and the free app (information available in the brochure for the walk) allowing the visitor to click the QR code at Stopping Station No. 2, for example, and bring up poetic summer resident T.S. Eliots recorded voice reading an excerpt from the Four Quartets from 1941.
Moments along Gloucesters new HarborWalk

Along the route, which runs from behind St. Peters Park off Rogers and Commercial streets, along the waterfront and then up into a portion of Gloucesters downtown, the time and space traveler can link to information about Gloucesters iconic Greasy Pole and Junes St. Peters Fiesta; about Salt, the prolific, mother humpback whale of Stellwagen Bank; Virginia Lee Burton, the author of the Gloucester-inspired childrens classic, Katy and the Big Snow; Joan of Arc and the masters of paint, invention and perseverance; the citys epic hero fisherman, adventurer and bartender, Howard Blackburn; and many, many more. How much is there to Gloucesters newest downtown attraction, which opened late last summer? Mayor Carolyn Kirk, who has walked the walk and was its prime backer, scheduled four consecutive days of dedications when the project opened last August. Each stopping station has a raised symbol linked to the subject at hand, while there are also two short films that can be viewed by smartphone and snap and send virtual postcards. Taking it all in at once is about as feasible as reading an encyclopedia from A to Z. Its a bad idea to even try. This isnt a power walk you have to immerse yourself and linger, said Kirk. You cant drive by this, you could spend a week
easily. So take your time, and check out Gloucesters new HarborWalk one story moment station at a time.

Half-mile to Route 1 Rotary
The Old Jail, on Auburn Street, is a forbidding granite structure built in 1824. It is privately owned. Bartlet Mall is the citys common green; its focal point is the swan fountain in the middle of the Frog Pond. On its High Street border is the Superior Courthouse, designed by Charles Bullfinch, architect of the U.S. Capitol, and built in 1805. Across Pond Street from the mall is the Old Hill Burying Ground, Newburyports oldest cemetery. The YWCA is on Market Street, around the corner from Central Congregational Church. The clock in the steeple of the church, at Pleasant and Titcomb streets
was once known as Old Betsy, named after the parishioner who donated it. She lived in Salisbury and set her watch by the clock. The church overlooks Brown Square, laid out in 1802 by merchant Moses Brown, who built a three-story brick townhouse now the Garrison Inn overlooking the square. City Hall overlooks Brown Square from the north. The Newburyport post office is across Green Street from Brown square, at the corner of Pleasant Street. Farther down Pleasant Street is the Unitarian Church, another Bullfinch-designed building, built in 1801.
Market Square is the historic hub of Newburyport and the Merrimack River waterfront provided the citys early economic lifeline. The waterfront is now the site of 21/2-acre Market Landing Park, which opened in 1984. The Firehouse Center in Market Square was built in 1823 as a market building and meeting hall. It was used as the citys central fire station from the Civil War era to 1979 and has been renovated into a performing and visual arts center and a restaurant. The granite Custom House, at 25 Water St., was designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument, and built in

1835. It now houses a maritime museum. Not far from the Custom House is the Sam Sargent Gallery, home of the Newburyport Art Association. Up State Street from Market Square are two former mansions. The Tracy House at 94 State St., built in 1771, is now the Public Library. Across the street, the Dalton House, at 95 State St., was built in 1746 and was the home of Tristram Dalton, the first U.S. senator from Massachusetts. It is now a private club. Around the corner, at 98 High St., is the Cushing House, built in 1808 and now a museum owned and operated by the Historical Society of Old Newbury.
