A walking tour about the 1600s in Marblehead & Essex County will be held on Saturday, Sept. 3, 10 am to noon, part of a regional program called “17th-Century Saturdays” The educational tour starts near Doliber’s Cove, in the early 1600s, and ends at Franklin Street in the 17-teens, covering areas of the town’s earliest settlement at the end of the Marblehead peninsula. Meet at the corner of Beacon & Norman St.
The weather should be beautiful, unlike last weekend, so it will be an enjoyable way to experience some of Marblehead’s beauty while hearing about its early past –
though storms were certainly something to cope with back then as well. The cost is $5 per person; children are free. Those who wish can request that their admission be donated to the town’s first church for its 375th anniversary. Reservations are not required.
