Gloucester's motto is "America's Oldest Seaport," and the harbor still sets the tone. The Man at the Wheel, the city's Fisherman's Memorial, overlooks the Western Harbor, and the Rocky Neck Art Colony, one of the oldest working art colonies in the country, sits on Smith Cove in East Gloucester. The Cape Ann Museum holds a major collection of maritime painter Fitz Henry Lane, while Hammond Castle and Beauport, Sleeper-McCann House bring one-of-a-kind waterfront architecture. Good Harbor and Wingaersheek beaches, Ravenswood Park, and the woodland trails of Dogtown cover the outdoors, and the Annisquam River divides the city between downtown and villages such as Annisquam, Lanesville, Magnolia, and West Gloucester.
Gloucester Public Schools serves the city with four K-5 elementary schools, O'Maley Innovation Middle School, and Gloucester High School. Route 128 begins in Gloucester, and Routes 127 and 133 connect its villages.
