FROM THE PUBLISHER
Four hundred years ago, our Pilgrim settlers first stepped foot in their new world on Cape Cod. Soon after, they crafted the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor, which laid out selfgovernance tenets found in our U.S. Constitution today.
Enjoying “a vacation in every pint” at Cape Cod Beer, just one of our many “Cape Cod Made” offerings!
As we reflect on our history, we also look optimistically to our future. On Cape Cod, we are creating resilient communities. Not only are we adapting to sea-level rise and protecting water quality, we are working to keep our ocean free of harmful plastics, with single use plastic bans in many towns. You can help and find sustainability tips and volunteer opportunities at takecarecapecod.org, including water filling station sites. Or, arrive car-free by summer rail and ferry or year-round bus service. Finally, buying local products helps maintain our special place.

A naturalist-guided pontoon ride with Barnstable Harbor Eco-Tours gets you up close and personal with some of the creatures (think blue herons and spider crabs) that call the Cape home. During your leisurely cruise or sandbar exploration, you’ll also view the Sandy Neck region’s coves and coastal salt marshes. For a hands-on experience, take an oyster farm tour with Wellfleet Shellfish Farm Tours, East Dennis Oyster Farm or Chatham Shellfish Co. You’ll learn about oyster cultivation, from seed to shuck, and have a chance to harvest your own. Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club in Brewster also offers guests oyster bed walking tours, and a unique glimpse into how this local delicacy is harvested on Brewster flats. Unwind after an active day in the company of gentle sand giants and weather-beaten artist shanties. Art’s Dune Tours in Provincetown provides an intimate view of the picturesque Outer Cape dunes and an appreciation for the ongoing environmental efforts to protect it. Art’s sunset tours have the option of a clambake and beach bonfire, the perfect ending to any day.

Single Tracks & Fat Tires At last count, there were at least 114 miles of bike paths on Cape Cod. Many are paved, including the just over seven-miles-long Province Lands loop. The short distance and smooth pathway are deceiving. Those rolling landscapes will have you feeling the burn in no time. West Barnstable’s dramatically named Trail of Tears presents mountain bikers with an entirely different experience. This former off-road motorcycle route has a mix of diverse vegetation and short, steep climbs. Fun fact: It’s only 21 miles long.
BEN NUGENT
Unlike its cohorts, the trail at Sandy Neck Beach is not really a trail at all. However, bring your favorite fat tire bike, or fatboy, as they are affectionately known, and you can cycle on the sand. Pack plenty of water for this mostly unshaded, seven-milestretch; your quads will thank you.
Wet & Wild The water doesn’t shut down because it’s not 85 degrees and sunny. Grab a kayak or standup paddleboard and experience the sea from a totally different perspective. If you forgot your boat in your other suitcase, several companies on the Cape can provide a substitute. Rideaway Adventures, FLYER’s Boat Rentals, Cape Cod Kayak and MOCEAN all have equipment available to rent, along with Goose Hummock, Great Marsh Kayak Tours and NamaSUP. If you’re not quite sure where to start, many of these businesses offer lessons and guided tours as well.
PAUL SCHARFF
On the Trail Again Head north to Great Island Trail in Wellfleet. Mudflats, impressive vistas, and a stately pine forest border this sandy trek. If you’re up for another 1.4 miles – and the tide is on your side – you might even make it to Jeremy Point. Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Barnstable is another dynamic spot. Deer, osprey and horseshoe crab are known to spy on fluorescent-clad joggers as they pass. At 1.3 miles, Eastham’s Nauset Marsh Trail is the easiest of the three. It’s ideal for hikers seeking excellent views and a moderate grade.

Interactive exhibits at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster offer everything there is to know about marine creatures and shorebirds. But if you venture outside the museum, several outdoor trails traverse the salt marsh through coastal woodlands, leading to the barrier beach and tidal pools of Cape Cod Bay (guided walks are offered in season).

Children at Play Hidden Hollow is located within the expansive grounds at Sandwich’s Heritage Museums & Gardens. Fostering exploration through play is this outdoor discovery area’s ultimate goal. Providing tree stumps for scaling, materials for building forts, nature for inspiring art, and water tables for experimenting are a few examples of how Heritage realizes this mission. If your tot isn’t so tiny, it might be time they brave the Challenge Zone at Cape Cod Inflatable Park in West Yarmouth. Free climb the rock tower and sail across the “Super Zipline” together, or enthusiastically cheer on your courageous kid from the sidelines. Afterwards, cool off in the lazy river of the park’s H20 section. Another way to make a splash is at the Cape Codder Water Park at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa in Hyannis. Adventure awaits for kids of all ages at this 30,000-square-foot indoor water park, featuring two 160-foot water

slides, a 300-foot “Stormy River,” a pirate-themed kiddie spray pool and play area, a wave pool and a snack bar. How pirates came to be associated with Cape Cod is a question best left to the professionals. Luckily, you can ask them directly when you and your swashbuckling crew go the Whydah Pirate Museum in Yarmouth. Exhibits tell the tale of a real pirate ship discovered off the coast of Cape Cod in the 1980s through modern science and recovered artifacts. Or, set your course for Hyannis and the Pirate Adventures Cruise. This 75-minute interactive excursion will test all three- to 10-year-old buccaneers (and their parents) foolhardy enough to climb aboard the Sea Gypsy. Not into water cannons? No worries, with a little help from Cape Cod Learning Tours you can delve into the unique world of sea creatures living at water’s edge. Outings include a meal, roundtrip transportation throughout the Cape, a guide, and a mobile science lab equipped with microscopes and water analysis kits. Pirates, land & sea explorations and craft brewery tours are just a glimpse into all Cape Cod has to offer travelers. Visit CapeCodChamber.org to begin planning your next adventure.

onald (Jerry) Ellis remembers the day he turned from a skeptic into a believer. It was late on a hot July afternoon in 1998 when he was clearing brush from the rear of the Sagamore Cemetery (Sandwich Road, Sagamore), where he has served as caretaker for roughly three decades.
D
It started with the feeling of someone pushing on his chest, followed by the smell of cigar smoke being blown in his face. Despite the heat, he had stopped sweating. There were goosebumps on his arms. He rushed to his truck and then the sensations vanished. “I’m not afraid of anything, and frankly this just frightened me,” he says. “I went from a non-believer to someone who is tolerant of this, and who believes there is something there I can’t put my finger on.” Since that day, paranormal investigators have visited the cemetery, where there are rumored to be as many as seven ghosts wandering the grounds. Ellis believes it was Isaac Keith—the founder of the defunct Keith Car Company, who is buried in the cemetery—whom he encountered that July afternoon 22 years ago. Ellis was told by a psychic that Keith “was very upset because some of the [grave] stones were not on top of the original graves,” a discrepancy that occurred in 1909 during the digging of the Cape Cod Canal. As part of that project, two local burial grounds had to be relocated to the Sagamore Cemetery, and roughly 30 to 40 bodies were separated from their gravestones in the process. When a nor’easter washed the chalkedin names off their wooden caskets, workers could only guess which headstone went with which casket.
PHOTO CHRIS KAZARIAN
The legend goes that the spirits of those disturbed souls supposedly haunt the cemetery to this day. It may sound like fantasy, but the more you delve into the history of Cape Cod, the more you realize that tales like this are not only commonplace, they may also be rooted in reality.

HISTORY
A History of the Unexplained
Sagamore Cemetery bourne
Author Robin Smith-Johnson has chronicled the region’s unusual happenings in two recent books, Legends & Lore of Cape Cod and Cape Cod Curiosities, which delve into everything from UFO sightings to strange creatures known as “Marsh People,” which are rumored to live in the Great Marsh that runs from Sandwich to Yarmouth. Some of Smith-Johnson’s yarns are less fanciful, but still captivating, like the black bear that made its way from Sandwich to Provincetown for 17 days in 2012, as well as Helen Keller’s first visit to Brewster as a child in 1888. “I think we tell stories to make sense of the world and also to learn about people, places and things that are different from us,” Smith-Johnson says. Many of the Cape’s more famous legends harken back to times of yore, when witches and pirates were more than just costumes to be worn once a year on Halloween. Perhaps the most celebrated one revolves around “Black Sam” Bellamy and Maria “Goody” Hallett.
The abridged version is that Bellamy had met Maria on Cape Cod and was quickly smitten, fathering her child. Before she gave birth, Bellamy set off to the Caribbean to make his fortune; it was on that trip that Bellamy became a pirate and successfully captured the Whydah, an English slave ship, and set sail for New England. Some believe he was returning to Maria. There remains speculation as to whether Maria was an actual person. “I think she really existed,” says Kathleen Brunelle, author of Bellamy’s Bride: The Search for Maria Hallett of Cape Cod.
PHOTO CHRIS KAZARIAN
It’s a love story layered in truth, wrapped in a mystery. “I am fascinated by the story of Sam and Maria,” says Tim Gigl, historian at the Whydah Pirate Museum in West Yarmouth. “I do think the story is plausible.”
As to her fate, there are a number of variations.

Scargo Tower dennis
After giving birth to their child, who died, one narrative has Hallett shunned by the town, angry at Bellamy, and turning to the devil, who transformed her into a witch. Upon learning of Bellamy’s return, she used her black magic to conjure up a storm which sank the Whydah off the coast of Wellfleet on April 26, 1717. Only two of the 143 crew on board survived. Bellamy’s body was never found. Brunelle prefers a more romantic ending in which Hallett was longing for her love to return. “I like the idea of Bellamy surviving the wreck,” she says. “One story has them going off to Provincetown together. I like that. It is my favorite one.” To this day, Hallett’s ghost is said to walk Marconi Beach in Wellfleet. On dark, stormy nights when the wind is wailing, locals say if you listen closely, you can hear the cries of Goody Hallett.
Love, Towers and the Supernatural In Dennis, not far from Route 6A, the 30-foot tall Scargo Tower sits atop Scargo Hill (Scargo Hill Road, Dennis). How that hill, and the lake it overlooks, came to be is steeped in legend, started with a Native American warrior who fell for Princess Scargo of the Nobscussett Tribe. Prior to heading off into battle, he presented the princess with four small shimmering fish. The legend says that the princess placed those fish in a small pond, but that summer was hot, long and dry, killing all but one of them. To ensure the safety of the lone

survivor, the princess’ father ordered the tribe to dig a basin, which became Scargo Lake. The excavated soil formed Scargo Hill, where Princess Scargo watched over the fish and awaited the eventual return of her love. “Scargo Tower is sort of an iconic destination for people,” says Peter Troutman, co-owner of Scargo Café in Dennis. “There’s such a breathtaking view and you can see Plymouth and Provincetown on clear days. When you look down on the lake below, it is in the shape of a fish, which goes hand-in-hand with the legend.” Another stone tower, in Truro, also has a storied history attached to it. At this one, located just south of Highland Light, famed opera singer Jenny Lind is reported to have sung from the top. That performance occurred in 1850 when the tower was a part of the old Fitchburg Railroad station in Boston. While Lind was giving a soldout performance in an arena inside the station, a restless crowd stirred outside. To appease the masses, Lind supposedly climbed the turret and began to sing to her fans below. In 1927, when the depot was being torn down, Harry Aldrich, a prominent Boston attorney and admirer of Lind’s, purchased the 70-foot tower and had it moved to his North Truro property.
28
CAPE COD TRAVEL GUIDE « 2020
While you can’t access the tower today, it can be viewed clearly from the grounds of the Highland Lighthouse (27 Highland Light Road, Truro). According to lore, Lind’s singing can still be heard on those evenings when Goody Hallett’s screams fill the night sky on Outer Cape Cod. It is rumored that her operatic voice is enough to ward off even the mythical Witch of Wellfleet. In almost every corner of Cape Cod, history such as the Jenny Lind Tower intersects with folklore, creating stories that are either unbelievable while containing kernels of truth, or are plausible while containing nuggets of the improbable. Ghost hunter Derek Bartlett has capitalized on this concept with his Cape Cod Haunted History Tour, which runs every night from mid-April to mid-November in Barnstable Village and includes stops at several rumored-to-be-haunted spots, among them the Old Jail, the Barnstable Restaurant and Tavern and the Olde Colonial Courthouse. “I like sharing the history of Barnstable, but also giving people a possible firsthand experience of something potentially happening to them,” Bartlett says. “Does it happen every night? No. But it does happen. I like making the non-believers into believers.”

Explore the Cape’s history in finer detail with a visit to one of these niche museums. By Rebecca Treon ape Cod’s distinction as a cultural destination is owed largely to a compelling and colorful history, which has inspired a fascinating collection of museums over time. Some of these – including the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum – are among the region’s most popular visitor attractions. But the smaller, more intimate museums dotting the Cape’s landscape have an equally intriguing story to tell about the region’s rich heritage.

Cape Cod Maritime Museum
“In a time of big institutions and competitive buildings, small museums offer character and a deeper, more personal experience,” says Julie Wake, executive director of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. “There’s something joyful and special when you see artifacts or art in the context in which they were created, and that brings an authentic experience to the visitor.”

Gorey’s most famous literary work is The Gashlycrumb Tinies, a pen and ink alphabet book with a dark twist.

Thousands of years of artifacts chronicling the history and culture of the Cape’s Wampanoag tribe – from the Stone Age to the present – are on display at the Mashpee Wampanoag Museum. The main exhibit is a diorama of a typical settlement, while other displays feature tools, baskets, hunting and fishing implements, weapons and domestic tools. Before Route 6 crossed the Cape, trains were the popular mode of transport from major cities like Boston to the Cape’s seaside villages. A historic 1887 train depot was converted into the Chatham Railroad Museum, a family-friendly museum that displays rail-centric exhibits, including model locomotives from the 1939 New York World’s Fair and a restored 1910 caboose.

It’s hard to imagine in the era of smart phones that people around the world had to rely on telegraphs to relay messages quickly over long distances, but Orleans was the home of a cable office with a 3,200-mile-long Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable to France known as “Le Direct”. Today, the 1891 office is the French Cable Station Museum, purchased by a group of Orleans residents in 1972 and preserved as it was last used in 1959.

It’s long been said that the sea is a fair but fickle mistress, but anyone who has ever visited the Cape knows the vital role it plays in the local economy. The Coast Guard is instrumental in protecting life and property at sea and enforcing maritime law, and Barnstable Village’s Coast Guard Heritage Museum celebrates that role. The museum is housed within a historic customs house; the property also includes the country’s oldest wooden jail (dating back to the early 1600s) and a working blacksmith shop offering daily demos.
Cape Cod has a long history of welcoming tourists looking to escape the summer heat in the city, including the Small family, who welcomed guests like famed author Henry David Thoreau to Truro as early as 1835. Isaac Small built the notable Highland House (within the Cape Cod National Seashore) in Truro in 1907; the classic two-story wood-framed house, located near French Cable Station Museum

the iconic Highland Light, is now a museum dedicated to the area’s rich history, dating back to early European settlers and the Native Americans before them. Massachusetts is home to a large population of those with Portuguese heritage, including those from Cape Verde, a Portuguese colony off Africa’s coast. The Zion Union Heritage Museum in Hyannis celebrates the contributions that area African Americans and Cape Verdeans have made to Cape Cod, including their role in the local whaling and cranberry industries, arts and sciences, and the civil rights movement. Several local historical societies manage landmarks in their communities; many of them include several noteworthy stops worth exploring. The Bourne Historical Society manages the Aptuxcet Trading Post, the oldest known Pilgrim building, reconstructed in the 1920s. It sits on 12 acres of recreational land, which houses such buildings as the Gray Gables Railroad Station, built for the personal use of President Grover Cleveland, who famously summered in Bourne.

One of the buildings the Dennis Historical Society has preserved is the 1736 Josiah Dennis Manse Museum, the home of Dennis’ first minister, which offers a slice of early life on the Cape. In Falmouth, the historical society’s two-acre Falmouth Museums on the Green boasts colonial gardens, special exhibits, historic walking tours, and two houses dating from 1730 and 1790. The Harwich Historical Society features the Brooks Academy Museum, established as the only area high school in 1844, where students would pay $4 a week for classes. It ceased operations in the 1960s before

Show Your Love of The Cape & Islands.
The revenue from your Cape & Islands License Plate helps to preserve and protect this beautiful region for future generations. In over 20 years, more than $23 million has been invested back into the community.
The Osterville Historical Museum’s exquisite grounds include an 18th century herbal garden and 19th century ornamental garden, but the museum is best known for its collection of full-size wooden boats built by the Crosby family, America’s oldest currently active wooden boatbuilding family. The Historical Society of Santuit & Cotuit supports four historic buildings as museums, including one that houses a 1916 Model T Ford Fire Engine, the first mechanized fire truck on Cape Cod. The historical society also runs year-round programs that range from open hearth cooking classes and walking tours to a historical book club and annual Strawberry Festival. The Chatham Historical Society acquired the Atwood House in 1926 to preserve what is now the oldest existing structure in Chatham. A 2005 expansion allowed the historical society to add eight additional permanent galleries and special exhibit space, some of which is dedicated to Chatham’s commercial fishing heritage. The Atwood House also showcases an impressive collection of 120 nautical charts, most dating from the 19th century. For those who love the Cape, these lesser-known museums offer something you won’t experience anywhere else – a deeper understanding of the area’s unique history, culture, people and innovators. Even hardcore Cape Cod history buffs are bound to discover something new.

FALL FUN
By Diane Bair & Pamela Wright
verybody adores summer on the Cape, but sweet little autumn deserves a shout out. We love the seasonal contrast of vibrant blue ocean, shimmering gold foliage and scarlet-drenched cranberry bogs. There’s that unmistakable sharpened-pencil-meets-crispyleaves aroma, and the wistful knowledge that each warm, sun-dappled hour is a gift, as the countdown to winter begins.
E
Here’s how to savor it.

FALL FUN

Fall Festivals
Beer, turnips, and oysters—they’d make a lousy smoothie, but they play starring roles in the Cape’s fall festivals. The Cape Cod Brew Festival (age 21+) celebrates the region’s exciting craft beverage scene at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds in East Falmouth each September, offering samples from 100+ breweries and 300 different styles of craft beer. More than 125 artisans display their wares every October at the Yarmouth Seaside Festival; other highlights include a parade, fireworks, kayak races, pie-eating contests and the always amusing bed racing competition. Sweet, succulent, and redolent of the sea—that’s a Wellfleet oyster. Local shellfishermen and women serve them raw, stuffed, in chowder - every which way - at the annual Wellfleet Oyster Fest. Local artisans, live music, family activities, an Oyster Shuck Off, and landlubber fare round out the fun.
Cape Cod Brew Festival
Cape Abilities Farm
One Oktoberfest=fun. Two Oktoberfests=fabulous! The Mashpee Oktoberfest is a lively affair, with German bands and dancers, a biergarten, keg races, and local crafters. The oompah bands tune up next for the Chatham Oktoberfest. Get into the spirit with authentic German fare, craft beer, cupcake contests, old-fashioned games and music by the Chatham Town Band. Turn up in Eastham in November to pay homage to the town’s famous purple tuber at the Eastham Turnip Festival. Think cook-offs, contests, tastings, and the crowning of the Turnip King and Queen.
2 Farmers’ Markets
SVETA DAMIANI
Fall offers a cornucopia of farmers’ markets, where you can both pick up ingredients for your farmto-table meals and meet the local farmers who produced them. Over a dozen seasonal farmers’ markets can be found across the Cape, including Falmouth, Sandwich, Chatham, Orleans and Provincetown. Browse fresh local produce, cheeses, meats and jams, along with homemade soaps, artisan creations, gourmet goodies and edible souvenirs (spice rubs travel very well!) You can find all this along with award-winning tomatoes at Cape Abilities Farm in Dennis.

Bourne Farm
3 Pumpkin-o-rama Pirates, Pilgrims, Minions—you never know who’s going to crop up each October at Chatham’s wildly creative Pumpkin People in the Park in Kate Gould Park. If you prefer your gourds classy and glassy, don’t miss the Sandwich Glass Museum’s annual Pumpkinfest. Ogle displays of limited-edition, artisan-made glass pumpkins, as glassblowers create seasonal orbs on site. Got kids? Celebrate autumn the old school way at 375-year-old Taylor-Bray Farm’s Fall Fest in Yarmouth. Festivities include hayrides, old-time games, apple cider donuts, and meet-and-greets with farm animals, plus a plethora of pumpkins. Speaking of gourds, there are several places on-Cape to pick one that’s absolutely gourdgeous. Premier pumpkin-picking zones include Coonamessett Farm in Falmouth, Cob Webb Farm in West Barnstable and Tobey Farm in Dennis. capecodchamber.org
4 Ptown does Halloween There’s Halloween, then there’s Halloween in Provincetown —just as outrageous as you’d expect it to be! From spooky burlesque revues and costume balls to haunted houses and family activities, this event offers a bazillion reasons to start bedazzling that costume.

Hyannis Golf Course
5 Autumn in the Arts The Cape’s cultural calendar is jam-packed each fall, so visit the region to your “arts content.” Led by artistic director and conductor Jung-Ho Pak, the Cape Symphony orchestra wows with concerts in Hyannis that pay homage to famous composers like Mozart and Broadway classics like Hairspray. See what’s on stage from the Falmouth Theatre Guild and Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, or check out a new exhibit at the Cape Cod Museum of Art or Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
6 Nature Walks Cooler days mean fabulous hiking. Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary offers prime fall foliage viewing along trails that wind through pine and oak woodlands, grasslands, and salt marshes—a wonderland of Cape Cod habitats. Explore a lovely, little-known natural area of the Cape at Mashpee River Reservation. Two miles of trails trace the shoreline of the tidal Mashpee River, following an old river road into the woodlands.

The garden path at Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich is pure eye candy in autumn. September offers vibrant blooms of dahlias and asters, while October brings colorful berries and hollies, with hydrangeas “antiquing” into pinks and reds. Your Instagram feed just got a lot more colorful.

‘Tis the Cranberry Season
Cranberry bogs awash in scarlet comprise some of the Cape’s most beautiful autumn scenery. And since the cranberry is Cape Cod’s most famous fruit, a fall tour of a working cranberry bog is in order. Tours in Harwich and Chatham include an explanation of the harvesting process, a look at equipment used in daily operations and a meet-andgreet with some of the animals on the farm. 52

8 Golf No need to stash those clubs after Labor Day—the Cape’s mild climate extends the season well into fall. Some courses, including Hyannis Golf Course and Falmouth Country Club, are open all year for play. Other prime places to tee up this fall: 9/18-hole Highland Links in Truro, situated on a bluff overlooking Cape Cod Light, and Dennis Pines, home to two 18-hole public courses. Thanks to its large practice area, 18-hole Cranberry Valley Golf Course in Harwich is a great place to improve your game. No matter what your level of play, you’ll enjoy Blue Rock Golf Course in South Yarmouth; this one is designed for all ages and abilities. See our full list of courses on page 46. capecodchamber.org

PLIMOTH PLANTATION
In 2020, the nation will recognize the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Pilgrims, who first landed in Provincetown, settled in Plymouth and eventually founded what today is America. Interactive events, exhibits and commemorations are being planned throughout the year, acknowledging this important piece of history from both the Pilgrim and Wampanoag perspectives. Here are some key 2020 events to put on your calendar: April 24. Plymouth 400 Commemoration Opening Ceremony (Memorial Hall,
Plymouth) This grand kick-off will be a crosscultural spectacle of historical content, visual & performing arts, and special guests.
May 21. Mayflower’s Plymouth Homecoming (Pilgrim Memorial
State Park, Plymouth) Expect fanfare and festivities as the beloved Mayflower returns to her berth after a multi-year restoration. On May 23–25, Plimoth Plantation welcomes visitors onboard to explore this full-scale reproduction of the vessel that brought the English colonists to the Wampanoag homeland. Buy tickets at sailingmayflower.org.
June 27-28. Maritime Salute to the 400th
(Plymouth Harbor) This parade of sail in and around Plymouth Harbor pays tribute to the Pilgrim’s journey aboard the Mayflower. A regatta of woodenmasted ships, official vessels, work boats, native mishoons and pleasure craft will culminate in a
capecodchamber.org
traditional New England lobster dinner.
August 1. The Wampanoag Ancestors Walk (Downtown Plymouth)
Led by people from the Wampanoag tribes of Massachusetts, the walk pays homage to Massasoit and King Phillip, and includes stops at designated sites to bless the spots where their ancestors once walked.
September 10-14. Mayflower Sails Into Provincetown (Provincetown
Harbor) The Mayflower is set to arrive in the Provincetown port on Thursday, September 10. Mayflower’s visit coincides with the arrival of 1,500 members of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD), and the iconic ship will be part of the daily historical reenactments of the Signing of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor in 1620. The culminating event will be a Sunrise Toast and Bon Voyage to the Mayflower on Monday, September 14, when she journeys back to Plymouth.
September 19-20. The Embarkation Festival
(Downtown Plymouth) This grand cultural and arts festival will honor the traditions, cuisine, and music of not only the original settlers and Wampanoag people, but the diverse immigrants who followed and contributed to the fabric of American life.
November 20-25. Thanksgiving Week 2020
(Plymouth) Festivities include special concerts on November 20, America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Parade on November 21, a “One Small Candle” Ceremony November 22, and the Illuminate Thanksgiving main event on November 25.
December 8. Eastham: Beyond the First Encounter (Nauset Regional
High School, Eastham) A recognition of the “First Encounter” on December 8, 1620, when the Wampanoag tribe and Pilgrims interacted for the first time at Eastham’s bayside beach.

PLYMOUTH 400
Ongoing
“Our” Story: 400 Years of Wampanoag History is an educational exhibition created by Wampanoag tribal members from Aquinnah and Mashpee. Multiple “chapters” highlight critical elements of Wampanoag history, and the exhibition will travel regionally to various educational and cultural institutions in 2020.
Key Sites
Visitors can retrace the first footsteps of the Pilgrims in the New World by visiting dozens of historical landmarks on Cape Cod and in Plymouth, including Provincetown’s Pilgrim Monument, which commemorates the Pilgrims’ historic landing, and Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum telling the interwoven stories of two distinct cultures English and Native. To find a list of historically significant sites on Cape Cod to add to your 2020 itinerary, please visit CapeCod-2020.com.

ou’ll never regret taking the scenic route on Cape Cod, and the 80-plus private gardens of the 6th Annual Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival are a gorgeous reason to step off the beaten path. The ten-day event begins July 10 with a burst of blooms, workshops and fun befitting the Cape’s signature flower - whether you simply want to take in the splendor, create a spectacular centerpiece, or learn how to (finally!) change those deep blues to rosy pink.

BEGIN WITH A TOAST. Two summer classics come together at the Cape Cod Beer pre-event Kick Off Party (July 9, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.), when you can get a first taste of the brewery’s festival-inspired label brew (a beer bottle has never looked this good). Free and open to all. LEARN FROM THE BEST. You’ve got 10 full days to explore the granddaddy of Cape gardens: Hydrangea Walking Tours at Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich will be offered throughout the festival, free with museum admission. Check the schedule for hydrangea talks on everything from pruning to pests, “test gardens,” plant sales, and book signings, not to mention the hydrangea display gardens, featuring 150 species and cultivars.

Festival Highlights
GRETA GEORGIEVA
It goes without saying the private gardens on these tours are lush with hydrangeas in all varieties, but past tour titles such as “Perennial Parade” and “Lemonade in a Treehouse” are a hint that hydrangeas are only the beautiful beginning. Gardens feature all types of plants and landscaping, and tour hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost for each tour is just $5. The best part? Local nonprofits benefit by receiving 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales.

COCKTAIL TRAIL. Drink in those hydrangea hues when more than a dozen local restaurants along the Hydrangea Festival Cocktail Trail serve up creations inspired by all the summery goodness in bloom. Among the beautiful sights to behold: a “Frozen Blue Hydrangerita” at the Cape Codder Resort’s Grand Cru Wine Bar, a Nikko-blue concoction of tequila, blue curaçao, cranberry juice, and sour mix, topped with an edible orchid. What a way to toast a day in the gardens.

ASK THE EXPERTS. If you’ve got stubborn blooms, hydrangea headaches, or are looking for an added burst of inspiration, don’t miss the chance to ask the experts at Heritage’s “Hydrangea University”. You’ll also find arrangement demonstrations and make-and-take workshops. The Hydrangea Society members can also be found at private gardens on the tour, to help answer your questions.
More Info Check out CapeCodHydrangeaFest.com for a full line-up of events, which—in addition to the popular garden tours—include paint-along demonstrations, book signings, a colonial tea, plant sales and other special events.

This company began selling their hearty, kettle-cooked chips out of a small store three decades ago. Today, the chips are sold around the world and are one of the region’s most well-known products. Visitors can tour their Hyannis factory, and even visit the iconic lighthouse (Nauset Light in Eastham) that adorns the Cape Cod Potato Chips’ bag.
Cape Codder Josh Fitzmaurice launched Slyk Shades in 2018. His line of stylish, polarized wooden sunglasses has since exploded in popularity and is sold online and at roughly 20 locations around the Cape. These sunglasses are more than just snazzy accessories, though; each pair is engraved with a message of hope, and partial proceeds from sales support environmental and mental health causes.

Cape Cod Beer started as a passion of owner and avid homebrewer Todd Marcus. Today, he and his wife Beth oversee a brewery operation that produces a wide selection of refreshing craft brews, from rich porters and punchy IPAs to smooth pale ales. Taste their beer while touring the brewery, which is both dog- and kid-friendly, and often the site of such special events as live music and farmers’ markets.
Cape Cod Provisions started out in 1996 with a line of delicious cranberry confections, paying homage to the region’s cranberry harvesting tradition. But they’ve since expanded to grow four distinct brands featuring a wide variety of fruit and chocolate creations, including such decadent treats as “Blueberry Patch Frogs” – whole dried blueberries and roasted cashews smothered in rich caramel and milk chocolate. Their products can be purchased on their website, as well as in select gourmet markets, candy shops and gift stores across the country.

These Cape sisters – Erica, Kris, Jamie and Lori - wanted the perfect granola for their family-owned Cape restaurants (Hole in One and Fairway Restaurant). That idea grew from a tasty addition to their restaurants’ breakfast dishes into a robust business with several delicious flavors, including white chocolate, peanut butter & chocolate, almond, and cinnamon & nuts.

DINING
By Laurie Higgins ong gone are the days when clam shacks defined the Cape’s dining scene. The growing farm-to-fork and pier-to-plate movement has helped shape Cape Cod into an epicurean’s delight, drawing chefs from all over to put their own spin on the region’s rich, local flavors.
L
The culinary journeys that led each of these featured chefs to hone their craft on Cape Cod are as unique as their cooking influences and styles. But a shared passion for letting fresh, local ingredients take center stage is what makes these gastronomic innovators true standouts on the local scene.

CHEF ROB ANDERSON
The Canteen 225 COMMERCIAL STREET, PROVINCETOWN
When chef/owner Rob Anderson worked as a political opinion journalist in Washington, D.C., he learned to cook by watching Ina Garten and Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network. He began hosting dinner parties for friends, who encouraged him to open his own restaurant. That opportunity came a few years later after a vacation in Provincetown, where he fell in love — both with the town and his partner, Loic Rossignon. They opened The Canteen together in 2013.
capecodchamber.org
THE CANTEEN
Their menu is based on seasonal New England offerings with a modern twist that also incorporates influences of other cultures. Their fried Brussel sprouts tossed with a spicy fish sauce put them on the map, along with lobster rolls that feature Provincetown lobsters served on a brioche bun. For an intriguing twist on a classic, try the lobster BLT with applewood smoked bacon, pickled onions, peppery arugula and herb mayo served on a ciabatta roll.

CHEF CHRISTOPHER JENKINS
STARS at the Chatham Bars Inn
CHATHAM BARS INN
297 SHORE ROAD, CHATHAM
Chef Christopher Jenkins began his cooking career in Napa, California, where he was heavily influenced by the numerous farms offering local produce. It turned out to be the perfect training ground for the next step in his culinary career--the Chef de Cuisine of STARS, which utilizes an abundance of produce from Chatham Bars Inn’s own eight-acre farm in Brewster. In addition to working closely with farmer Joshua Schiff, chef Jenkins has built relationships with local fishermen. He can often be seen strolling down to the pier to see what has come in fresh on the boats.
BETH PATKOSKE
His menu is seasonal and extremely local. In keeping with the traditions of the elegant oceanfront inn, he likes to put a modern twist on traditional dishes. For example, his fresh take on classic Lobster Newberg features lobster glazed with cognac and served with a frothy hen egg emulsion made with lobster stock and smoked peppers. It’s topped with a thin lattice puffed pastry, caviar and fresh herbs from the farm. Another seasonal favorite is seared black bass with soft-shell green crab, green crab bisque, fairy tale eggplant, heirloom peppers and eggplant pepper puree.

CHEF ROBERT AND ANDREA DESIMONE
Spinnaker 2019 MAIN STREET, BREWSTER
SPINNAKER
Inspired by their extensive European travels, husband and wife team Robert and Andrea DeSimone moved from Boston to Brewster to open Spinnaker, an upscale Mediterranean- style restaurant and B&B. The all-white dĂŠcor and warm hospitality are a direct result of things they observed in their travels through Italy and Greece. They spend two weeks every spring and fall in Europe searching for inspiration, and always come home with new ideas for the menu. The Sicilian-style grilled East Coast swordfish is topped with a sweet and savory mixture of an agrodolce made with pine nuts, onions, pears and golden raisins. Save room for dessert, because the brioche bread pudding with salted caramel sauce and vanilla gelato is the perfect complement to any meal.

CHEF JAMES HACKNEY
Twenty-Eight Atlantic at the Wequassett Resort & Golf Club 2173 ROUTE 28, HARWICH
WEQUASSETT RESORT & GOLF CLUB
Originally from Leicestershire, England, chef James Hackney grew up in the family hospitality business. His greatest influence as a chef was his time under the tutelage of chef Frank McClelland at the legendary L’Espalier in Boston. McClelland was at the forefront of the farm-to-table movement in the early days and Hackney enjoys cooking the same way, with an eye towards using the freshest local ingredients in a way that makes them soar. His menu is a light and approachable. Seafood figures prominently in dishes like the popular lobster carbonara, which combines a duck egg yolk, pancetta, and a white wine reduction. It comes served with black pepper bucatini. Another popular dish last summer was the roasted native striped bass, served with fresh peas, radishes, tarragon and verjus, to cut the richness of the fish. The plate was rounded out with a ceviche-style fresh razor clam vinaigrette.

CHEF FLORENCE LOWELL
THE NAKED OYSTER
The Naked Oyster Bistro & Raw Bar 410 MAIN STREET, HYANNIS
A native of France, chef/owner Florence Lowell had a vision to create a real bistro atmosphere with robust high-end food in a casual setting. The places she’s traveled and lived have had a huge influence on her cooking style, and she constantly revamps The Naked Oyster’s menu according to what is in season or trendy. Seafood is a heavy presence on the menu with some form of high-quality tuna always featured, along with fresh oysters from Lowell and her husband’s shellfish grant in Barnstable Harbor. Her favorite menu item is the duck confit, a rustic yet complex dish. She starts with a dry rub and Pernod and cures the duck for 24 to 48 hours; then it is slow cooked in duck fat with oranges, garlic and thyme and allowed to rest for the flavors to meld into perfection. It is served with a classic French sauce.

at Coonamessett Farm
277 HATCHVILLE ROAD, EAST FALMOUTH
In 2016, husband-and-wife chef team Brandon Balzley and Laura Higgins-Balzley approached the owners of Coonamessett Farm in Falmouth about starting a pop-up dinner restaurant at the farm. Their first season was so successful that the culinary duo took over all of the dining operations at the farm the following year. Laura is in charge of breakfast and lunch, while Brandon’s focus is dinner. Their menus are inspired by the Nordic philosophy of food they encountered in Copenhagen, which features creative hyper-seasonal local food. Laura’s specialty is Quahog Benedict, a quahog stuffed with breading and chorizo, served with poached eggs on top and smothered in a Bloody Mary hollandaise sauce. For dinner, there is a choice between a fixed price three-course, five-course or eight-course tasting menu. Brandon changes the menu every three weeks, but a sample offering might include smoked oysters with beach rose butter or spring chicken with onion, wildflowers and morels.

CHEF FREDERIC FEUFEU
Bleu 10 MARKET STREET IN MASHPEE COMMONS, MASHPEE
When chef/owner Frederic Feufeu moved from New York City to Cape Cod, he planned on working for someone else. When that restaurant abruptly closed shortly after his arrival, he decided to take a chance and open his own restaurant in the same space. Feufeu’s menu reflects his Loire Valley heritage. French classics like escargot and French onion soup are always on the menu. The menu’s entrees change seasonally, but there are a few dishes that are popular mainstays, like the roasted Mallard duck breast with raspberry honey glaze. The duck is served with Reggiano risotto and an herb goat cheese. A big hit last summer was the pistachio-crusted halibut with a mushroom duxelle in a lobster and lemon confit beurre blanc.

SummerCamp
Lark Hotels offer a variety of expertly designed boutique hotels across New England, including Cape Cod and the Islands. 21 Broad (21 Broad St., Nantucket) is housed in a restored Victorian two blocks from the ferry, and the buzzing outdoor patio is home to BYOB mixers. Wrap yourself in a waffle kimono robe after your Vitamin C shower, and enjoy the complimentary iPad all guests are given for use during their stay. The newly renovated SummerCamp (70 Lake Ave., Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard) gives a nostalgic nod to the summer camp tradition of reconnecting and refreshing. Guests of this waterfront property are greeted with rustic decor, and fully modern rooms that are a throwback to your childhood days, complete with adult amenities.
Also a Lark Hotel, AWOL (59 Province Lands Road, Provincetown) - located at the tip of town - maximizes the beauty of the nearby dunes and sea with minimalist yet trendy styling. There are outdoor fire pits, communal areas, and a heated outdoor pool overlooking the expansive moors. Plush bedding, Solé beach cruisers and a savory morning bagel bar are just a few of the indulgent amenities.

Bikes are available for guests, making it easy to explore the nearby Shining Sea Bikeway and seaside village of Woods Hole.

daily gourmet breakfast is served fireside in the dining room, with seasonal entrees ranging from Crab Cake Benedict to Cranberry Nut French Toast. The inn’s sophisticated Chatham Wine Bar & Restaurant offers an intimate dining experience with over 32 fine wines by the glass and a bistro terrace in season. Harbor Hotel (698 Commercial St., Provincetown) is a 60s-style hideaway balancing retro glam with an affordable weekend (or week-long) getaway. Rent an electric scooter on-site to zip around Provincetown during the day, then cozy up by the fire pit at night, take a dip in the heated pool, or sip drinks at the poolside cabana bar. It’s kid and pet friendly, with more than 120 guest rooms decked out in vibrant colors and contemporary amenities. Tucked along historic Old King’s Highway, The Starlight Lodge (203 Main St., Dennis) makes for a relaxed home base for your Cape getaway. The innkeepers fully renovated this 26-room property in 2016 and aim to cater to everyone, including families and couples, with budget-friendly rooms in soothing earth tones, along with pet-friendly units.

sensibility with classic Cape Cod style, offering luxury linens, plush bath robes, and contemporary décor. It’s located within walking distance to some of the area’s best restaurants and is a favorite retreat for romantic weekend getaways. Minutes from the sea, the stylish Salt House Inn (6 Conwell St., Provincetown) is an immaculate and beachy B&B with bright white walls, homemade breakfast, and a few tasteful touches (like the wall of curiosities) paying homage to the 19th-century building. Celebrating a special occasion or want to live out your best Instagram life? Reserve the Loft Room, an expansive top floor with sitting area, spacious bathroom, and grand clawfoot tub at the foot of the plush king bed. Aiden by Best Western @ Cape Point (476 Route 28, West Yarmouth) is a fresh alternative for those who prefer traditional hotels, and the second property in the United States to open as part of Best Western’s new boutique hotel concept. The brand-new hotel features retro-styled furnishings and splashy decor, a sleek cafe with locallyinspired cocktails and boldly curated dishes, and a social lobby that doubles as a workspace. There’s also a fitness center

along with heated indoor and outdoor pools. The intimate Sea Street Inn (328 Sea St., Hyannis) puts a modern luxury spin on the classic B&B. The three rooms and two suites are sun-filled and tidy, mixing classic New England architecture with updated and tranquil bathrooms. The inn’s just a short walk to the beach and downtown Hyannis; however, expect to be pampered with personalized attention and gourmet meals prepared by the co-owner, a trained chef. You may not want to leave. And who says camping under the stars can’t be luxurious? At AutoCamp Cape Cod, opening this fall in Falmouth, you can choose from nearly 100 souped-up Airstream rental trailers equipped with double and queen beds, organic bedding, flat screen TVs, and bathrooms. In addition, the 10 luxury canvas tents on the property are the kind with king beds, dressers and Wi-Fi. A large clubhouse offers luxe-style bathrooms for those in tents, and on-site activities may include yoga, farmto-table dinners, beer tastings, or live music by the custom-designed community firepits. With all of these amenities, even those who aren’t campers may become converts.
