2021 Misselwood Touring Series

9/2023 Update:

Today I did this route - it was a delight; picturesque and curvy 25-45mph roads dotted by turning foliage. It was an easy 2hr or so route (I honestly lost track of time it was so pretty) and I stoped for a coffee along the way - a friendly little place called Olive's Coffee & Bakehouse in Newburyport, MA. I could have taken a hundred beautiful photos - but decided to just savor the moment and enjoy then as I drive. You'll see what I mean if you drive it. I chose the word delight deliberately.

This is a beautiful car event each year up in Beverly. A small but elegant venue with some great cars. If you're driving on the North Shore, this is a lovely route.

From their 2021 Facebook page: The cars will leave the Misselwood Estate at 9 a.m. as they head along Hale St. towards Beverly Farms. The drive will move through Wenham on Grapevine Rd. and Larch Row, passing along Cherry St. to meet up with RTE. 97, which they will then follow to the center of Georgetown. The drive will then take a left following RTE. 97 into Groveland, once the cars reach the Merrimack River they will then turn right onto RTE. 113 and head towards Newburyport. (There will be a brief stop in Groveland, TBD)

The parade of cars will head by Maudslay State Park before meeting back up with RTE. 113/RTE. 1A and will then follow 1A all the way into Ipswich. The cars will then take a scenic drive out to Great Neck and loop around and head back into Ipswich where they will then turn left onto RTE 133 and head into Essex. Once they pass through Essex they will turn right onto Southern Ave. and head into Manchester-by-the-Sea. The drive will then turn right onto RTE. 127 and make its way back up the coast to the Misselwood Estate, arriving around noon.

There is no admission charge for spectators. The general public can view the cars leaving the Misselwood Estate property in the morning and once again upon their return.

All funds raised from this event support Endicott College Student Scholarships. The Misselwood Touring Series is held in conjunction with the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance which takes place the weekend of July 16-18, 2021
