Review:

Marblehead is a seaside town north of Boston offering history and picturesque views of the harbor or Atlantic Ocean.

Once a thriving fishing village in the early 1600’s, the rocky outpost on the Massachusetts coast was among the most populous towns in the colonies prior to the Revolutionary War.

By the 19th century it has become an opulent merchant town and seaside resort, known for the sprawling mansions on the cliffs over the sea.

Among the main attractions are over 300 colonial-era homes, and a historic district full of boutiques and galleries, restaurants, cafes and bars.

Visit the Marblehead Museum, the Marblehead Lighthouse, or the 1638 Old Burial Hill for a unique view of the town.
