The natural beauty of the North Shore region serves as a constant refreshment to the soul. The most spectacular beaches on the Eastern seaboard stretch for miles, providing peace, solace, and a chance to renew your senses. Salt marshes teem with wildlife activity, changing hues with the passing seasons like a living painting. In spring, rolling pastures and woodland greenery come to life. Summer brings the smell of salt air mingled with marsh hay and ripening berries.
Autumn winds spread the sweet aromas of orchards and field harvests.
Surrounded by such natural beauty, it's no wonder North Shore residents remain here for generations. That visitors never want to leave. Since 1957, I have been happy to pay taxes here. On Christmas Eve 1776, John Glover's Marblehead fishermen saved the American army by ferrying General Washington across the Delaware River. Newburyport native William Lloyd Garrison devoted his life to the abolition of slavery.
