Ravenswood Park, Nature reserve in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States
Ravenswood Park covers 600 acres of woodland terrain with granite formations, established trails, and diverse ecological zones throughout the protected land.
Mason A. Walton constructed a cabin within these woods in 1884, living there for 33 years and earning recognition as the Hermit of Gloucester.
The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through guided programs and interpretive nature activities.
Visitors can access multiple entry points from Western Avenue, with designated parking areas available along Route 127 for convenient trail access.
The location of Mason Walton's former residence remains marked by a commemorative plaque attached to a boulder within the park grounds.
