History runs deep in Massachusetts. Throughout the North Shore of Boston, every town has a handful of shops, restaurants, and other establishments that have been in place for many decades.
To highlight these local icons, Northshore magazine selected 10 local institutions that have crossed the 50-year threshold. Northshore readers voted for their favorites, determining the five winners for this year’s 5 over 50.
Introducing the Northshore magazine 5 Over 50 for 2016 (in order of votes):
Hawthorne Hotel (est. 1925) – Salem
Smith Motors Sales (est. 1951) – Haverhill

Salem’s Hawthorne Hotel, the institution that received the most votes, was awarded a Northshore digital advertising package valued at $12,000. All of the 5 Over 50 winners are featured in Northshore’s October “Movers + Shakers” issue.
