About this title

Synopsis

The book lays out a significant base knowledge for each community on Cape Cod, including famous men and women who have made significant contributions to each community. A section entitled “Do You Know?” provides some lesser-known information that contributes to the distinctness and attractiveness of each town; some photographs that will test the reader's knowledge of buildings and objects that are commonly seen but not necessarily recognized for what they are, and some trivia that tests some well-known and lesser-known facts.

The book ends with the "Treasures" of Cape Cod. These are the institutions and places that make the Cape Cod a remarkable place to live and work and one that attracts millions of visitors. I have made these determinations myself and realize that others may have a different list, but that is ok. Some are cultural, some are natural, but each contributes to the quality of life that is available on Cape Cod. The region and its people have something distinct and appealing to offer everyone.
