Crane's Beach is part of the Crane Estate, once known as Agawam laid claim by John Winthrop in 1637. It became the site of Castle Hill, one of the wealthiest estates in America purchased by Richard T. Crane as a summer retreat. In 1910 he built the 59 room mansion atop Castle Hill. The Crane Estate was donated by his wife Florence in 1949. The mansion was featured in the Witches of Eastwick.
While visiting Crane's Beach in Ipswich, Massachusetts over the weekend, a baby harbor seal was lounging on the outer tip of the beach. We were told that her Mom was out fishing. A 150' perimeter was maintained by the rangers. Crane's Beach is part of the Crane Estate, once known as Agawam laid claim by John Winthrop in 1637.
