One recent morning, on one of my daily trips over the Andrew Piatt Bridge. I sensed a new open feeling, a bigger sky, one might say. The sensation was palpable. That is when I noticed that the long-obscured 2+ acre lot at the rear of the White-Ellery House was being completely cleared by Windover Construction. After a quick Google inquiry, I was delighted to find out that this was the beginning of Cape Ann Museum’s creation of the new White-Ellery Campus.
The site includes the White-Ellery House (c. 1710) and Barn (c.1740) and the recently acquired Babson-Alling House (c. 1740). These historic properties will be connected by green space to a new, state-of-the-art collection storage facility and exhibition space. Vibrant and forward-thinking institutions such as Cape Ann Museum give our community an enduring and meaningful legacy of greatness.
