Eric Pape at Hammond Castle Museum
Join us for a very special exhibit of works by American artist and former Cape Ann resident, Eric Pape (1870 -1938).The Eric Pape At Hammond Castle Museum exhibit will consist of more than two dozen works by Pape, many of which have not been seen publicly in nearly a century.
At the time of the exhibit, it is expected to be the largest collection of Pape’s artworks on public display anywhere in the world.
The catalog of artwork is primarily on loan from the private collection of Dr. Gregory Conn, one of the world’s leading Pape experts and biographer.
On display will be examples of Pape’s work in various mediums including pencil, pen, watercolors, and oils.
The catalog features the recently restored The Wireless Naval Battle of Gloucester Bay, the only surviving mural by the famed artist.
Pape is perhaps most widely known throughout the Cape Ann community for his 1907 design of the *Tablet Rock Memorial* in Stage Fort Park commemorating the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1623.

Take I-95 North out of Boston to Exit 45, then route 128 North to Exit 14. Turn right onto Route 133 to the very end of that highway, and with the ocean directly in front of you turn right onto Route 127. Approximately 3/4 of a mile from that intersection the road will begin to narrow. Look for a blue and white sign on your left for the castle, and turn onto Hesperus Avenue. The castle is just a few blocks down Hesperus Avenue on your left. Park in the lot off the street, and take the walkway and stairs down to the entrance.
