HISTORY OF THE DONUT - and its ties to Rockport 

Rockport is home to the creator of the Donut Hole, Captain Hanson Gregory - commemorated on a plaque at the Nativity Lutheran Church in Rockport.

Given this, it is a great reason for the community to come together to celebrate and kick the summer off! 

The Smithsonian has an article that relates the Donut's journey into what we now know it as today, and how our Captain Hanson Gregory and his mother played a part in it: The History of the Donut.
