Join the Gloucester Lyceum

The Gloucester Lyceum seeks to enrich the lives of Cape Ann residents through thought-provoking and intellectually rewarding programs in the arts and humanities. Based on both ancient and American Lyceum traditions, the Gloucester Lyceum was founded in 1830 and hosted such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
 
Today, the Gloucester Lyceum is revived in a rapidly changing and dramatically more challenging world but the sharing of ideas and viewpoints with each other is no less important. This is the renewed commitment of the Gloucester Lyceum: To involve people and ideas in a public forum which fosters a spirit of community and participation. Please email info@sawyerfreelibrary.org if you are interested in finding our more about the Lyc.
