Map & Trail Sites

The Rocky Neck Historic Art Trail is designed as a Walking Tour, enabling you to park your car in the free public parking lot along the Rocky Neck causeway and walk around the Trail guided by a smartphone. Begin by driving to Gloucester, Massachusetts, located at the end of Route 128 East.  The Google map below displays the four-minute drive from the end of Route 128 to the free parking lot on Rocky Neck.  Click the + or – symbols on the map to zoom in or out. Click “More options” to see a fully interactive map.  Each location contains a similar map that will guide you on foot from one Trail site to the next. As you read about artists and historic locations, you can see first-hand where they lived and worked and view the timeless land- and seascapes that inspired them.


DIRECTIONS: From the end of Rte.128 (second traffic light) go straight up over hill. Follow East
Main Street 1.1 miles, turn right onto Rocky Neck Avenue. Park your car in the public parking lot, a short distance on the right.
