Gloucester, Massachusetts

Open May Through October

Overlooking Gloucester Harbor, the beautiful terrace and gardens at Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House, offer an exceptional setting for small wedding ceremonies, first looks, and photo shoots. Beauport was the summer home of one of America’s first professional interior designers, Henry Davis Sleeper.

Perched on a rock ledge, Beauport became Sleeper’s retreat, backdrop for entertaining, professional showcase, and an inspiration to all who visited.
