Then & Now: Swampscott, Massachusetts
As the gateway to the North Shore, Swampscott became one of the most popular summer resorts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beyond the grand hotels, however, was a town by the ocean, where some derived their income from the sea and others sought the spirit of entrepreneurship and invention. Swampscott was incorporated in 1852 after breaking away from the city of Lynn.
Then & Now: Swampscott connects the past and the present through a variety of images including the house Mary Baker Eddy lived in from 1865 to 1866.
Sue Ellen Woodcock is a former editor and writer with the Swampscott Reporter.
