Travel Note
GPS Address: 1123 Washington Street, Gloucester MA 01930. From Off-Island: Take Route 128N to Grant Circle, approaching the circle in the left lane.

Travel Note
If you're flying into Logan Airport and do not wish to brave driving from/to the airport, Logan Express busses run to/from Danvers once per hour. Eileen and Gary often use the $18 round-trip service and Enterprise Rent-A-Car has a location a couple miles from the bus terminal.
Travel Note
Gloucester uses the Flowbird app exclusively for local on-street parking in marked spots downtown, and it's free for the first 20 minutes (though you still need to log in and 'purchase at no cost' the free 20 mimutes). The app does not work for beach reservations or parking (like Lanes Cove, Plum Cove and others). The app's not required if you only park at the church (1123 Washington St).
