	Marblehead is a walking town. You must walk the town to see the history and find all the secret paths. The path from Lookout Court, Gas House Lane and beach, Alley Steps and many others are hidden from the motorist.	Path from Lookout Court
		Old Burial Hill is a special treasure. Only in Marblehead would you think to have a picnic in a graveyard! Its a remarkable setting with a spectacular panoramic view encompassing antique houses, a delightful pond and the ocean. Even the inscriptions on the tombstones with their insight to earlier times are fascinating to read.
	Fort Sewall is a wonderful spot; it stirs the spirit and the soul. This is the fort which protected the USS Constitution — Old Ironsides — when she sought safe harbor from two British ships. Now a favorite spot for visitors, harbor watching, and Shakespearean Plays performed by local teen actors.
		Washington Square is filled with history. Lafayette trained troops on the green! The houses on the Square are a storybook representation of New England architecture. In winter, this cozy area really is a gorgeous New England wonder land!
