The Edward Haraden House of Annisquam.  First Period Home originally built circa 1657 and on the National Registry of Historic Places. Birthplace of Nathaniel Haraden, Sailing Master of the USS Frigate Constitution during the siege of Tripoli in 1804. Sailing Commander of the Constitution from 1802-1803. Like Old Ironsides herself prior to restoration, she is in need of preservation.  But just like the USS Constitution, once completed, it too will be national treasure.  Annisquam River is an estuary that connects Ipswich Bay to Gloucester Harbor.  Annisquam was founded in 1631 on the eastern side of the northern edge of the river. Rich in History, the village grew into a fishing and ship building center that during its heyday, rivaled Gloucester. The beautiful and Iconic Light House beach of Wigwam Point is within walking distance.    A newly built out-building with electricity provides options for studio, office or storage.
