Why Main Street?

The charm of Gloucester Court House is difficult to imagine. It combines a peaceful almost yesteryear feeling with the mix of the characters on the street. We are a relatively small community and most of us (even the “comeheres”) know each other. 

The new pavements and landscaping encourage walking, chatting and even sitting on our new benches. The main street restaurants and shops continue to become more and more interesting and there is something here for everyone. 

You Can Help

You can help by becoming a member, making a suggestion, helping organize an event, recruiting another member, volunteering your time, improving your building, and helping your neighbor. You can help others by helping our community and you can help yourself by making this wonderful place we live even better.

Our Mission

We see our mission as multi-faceted, yet obvious. To make the Gloucester Main Street area wonderful. Wonderful for our residents, wonderful for our business people and property owners and wonderful for our visitors.
