You veer off Route 127 to Lynch Park in Beverly. During the Revolution, a battery of cannons was set up here to disrupt British ships, which had blockaded Boston Harbor. The site eventually became the summer White House for President William Howard Taft. In 1943, the city purchased the land as a park with money bequeathed by leather manufacturer David Lynch.
