In the first half century of the automotive age, a weekend trip to the country for Boston folks often meant driving a few miles north on the Newburyport Turnpike and renting a cabin not too far from the shore. The Douglass Evergreen Village, above, was on Rt. 1 between Linebrook Road and Rt. 133.

Sunnyside Cabins was on Rt. 133 near Corliss Brothers across from the former Bruni’s. A ’57 Pontiac is parked on the right.
