Dogtown Common
Dogtown Common is an abandoned colonial settlement in the interior of Cape Ann, now a 3,600-acre wilderness of glacial boulders and overgrown cellar holes. In the 1930s, financier Roger Babson commissioned motivational slogans to be carved into two dozen boulders scattered through the woods. The area has attracted artists and writers for centuries, including Marsden Hartley and Charles Olson.
