One focus of
the Society is the Cape Ann
crew of Thomas Gardner1 that
arrived in the 1623/24 time frame. Prior to that, there
were other sites with activity: Plymouth (1620),
Provincetown (1620), and Weymouth (1622).2
After Gloucester (Cape Ann), we can list Chelsea (1624),
Quincy (1625), Salem
(1626), Charleston (1628), Lynn (1629), Saugus
(1629), Manchester-by-the-Sea (1629), and Marblehead
(1629).3 All of these were prior
to the arrival of John Winthrop in 1630.4
In 2008, Executive Order No. 502 established a Commission
to plan the commerative activities.5
A recent meeting in Salem at the Hawthorne Hotel brought
together the planners from several of the cities.6
