Krista’s Tour of Marblehead:  Introduction

Today the picturesque harbor and the ocean are still a significant part of the town known internationally as one of the premiere "Yachting Capitals of the World."

Marblehead has been able to maintain its historic colonial houses and winding streets.

This is because just as the town was enjoying prosperity and on the verge of building larger homes, the townspeople were called to war, dedicating their resources to the causes of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and to the Civil War.

That commitment to liberty has been forever documented in one of the most familiar paintings in the United States, "The Spirit of ’76." The original painting hangs proudly in our town hall, Abbot Hall.

Through this turn of events, we now have a spectacular historic district. In fact, Marblehead includes the largest concentration of homes from the 1700s in the entire country - over 200 homes build before the Revolution and more than 800 before 1830, according to the Marblehead Historical Society.

Today, Marblehead is primarily a residential community with some light manufacturing, businesses and delightful retail shops and restaurants.

Now I'll show you more about the legends and historic traditions of Marblehead.
