Swampscott’s early days included a rich fishing heritage that has changed over time. The Swampscott Dory was invented here, a specialized version of a dory fishing boat. Family boat building shops, the Swampscott Fish House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the oldest active municipal fish house in the country, and Swampscott Yacht Club’s boating and fishing social community. Take a visual tour of Swampscott’s fishing and boating history with this self-guided exhibit at the Town Hall.
