If you or a friend would like to enter your classic car in the competition please arrive before 9:00am. The entrance fee is $20. You may pre-register or request additional information by emailing me at c.nazarian@gloucestermeetinghouse.org. Admission is free but free-will donations towards the ongoing preservation of the building are requested. Tours of the Meetinghouse interior and treasures will be offered. The best part is you get to judge the cars with handsome trophies awarded to the winners at the conclusion of the show.
Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation
In the spirit of giving back to the community, each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation.
Gloucester’s treasured Meetinghouse, an architectural masterpiece listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in the center of the Historic District, was erected in 1806 by the First Universalist Society in America. The congregation was founded by Rev. John Murray, who conducted the first service in the Sargent family home on Middle Street in 1774. He was known for his powerful preaching style and fervent Christian belief in a loving, all-forgiving Creator in contradiction to the prevailing Calvinist teachings of the state-sanctioned Congregational Church. Because of Murray’s liberal religious beliefs he was appointed Chaplain to the Rhode Island Regiment under George Washington during the Revolutionary War and was instrumental in bringing aid from the Continental Congress to Gloucester, which was suffering greatly with no fishing industry possible under the British naval blockade.
