The section includes Pepperell Cove, flanked by forts McClary and Foster; the Lady Pepperrell House; and the 1730 First Congregational Church. With a history of the area, which is bypassed by the tourists who stick to Route 1, and details on its shipbuilding heritage and its heyday as a summer vacation spot.
