Studies to determine the feasibility of increasing beach capacity by constructing parking lots just off Route 6 and providing public transportation to the beaches are suggested. A program to encourage off-season use is set forth. Environmental education is stressed. Continued cooperation with State and local agencies in resource management is emphasized.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENTS for Our 2019 Annual Report, We’Ve Explored Various Structures That Sit on This Land

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENTS For our 2019 Annual Report, we’ve explored various structures that sit on this land. Our buildings reflect the times in which they are created and the purposes they serve. The places where we live, dine, shop and gather are as much a part of our history as they are of our current lives. Some structures have evolved over more than a century while adhering to their original intent. 2 Highland Road, North Truro, now Salty Market, was built to be and is currently run as a neighborhood store. Houses built for whaling captains are now luxury inns and homes for those working in our vibrant art market. Others have experienced vast permutations. The Cahoon Hollow Life Saving Station became a hostelry before its life as the exceedingly popular Wellfleet Beachcomber. In 1852, the building at 90 Commercial Street, part of the Union Wharf Complex, served as the first offices for Seamen’s Bank. Now that historic building houses the law offices of Frederick V. Long. As always, our Annual Report is enhanced by narratives of those who have gone before us while celebrating the community we so appreciate and support today. “Its floorboards are wide. Its cedar shingles are made by hand. The nails are hand wrought. Among the underpinnings of the house are the masts of vessels. It has a round cellar of the kind known as ‘smuggler’s cellar,’ in the middle of which is a hook. This hook was there for the purpose of rigging a tackle to let down the barrel of Jamaican rum, which Provincetown captains smuggled from the West Indies.” — Mary Heaton Vorse, Time in the Town Untitled (the artist’s studio) Pauline Palmer courtesy Provincetown Art Association and Museum 466 COMMERCIAL STREET, PROVINCETOWN LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Perhaps no house better reflects the history of Mary Heaton Vorse was an internationally renowned Provincetown than the house at 466 Commercial Street.

    E. Fisheries and Wildlife

    E. Fisheries and Wildlife Until recent decades, the vast majority of Mashpee’s territory was the domain not of man, but of beast. Our woods were only occasionally broken by a roadway, or a few homes, or a farmer’s fields. The hunting was good. Our clear lakes were famous for their fishing. Our streams flowed clean to pristine coastal bays teeming with fish and shellfish that helped feed and support many families. Much has changed with the explosive development of the last fifty years, and much of our wildlife has disappeared along with the natural habitat that supported it. However, much remains for our enjoyment and safekeeping. In this section we will look at Mashpee’s fish and shellfish, its mammals, birds and insects, important wildlife movement corridors and those species living in our town which are among the last of their kind. 1. Finfish Mashpee hosts four types of fin fisheries: fresh water ponds, rivers and streams, estuaries and coastal ponds and the open ocean. Our four large ponds provide some of the best fishing in the state. 203-acre Ashumet Pond, 317- acre Johns Pond and 729-acre Mashpee-Wakeby Pond are all cold water fisheries stocked with brown, brook and rainbow trout. In the last century, such famous anglers as Daniel Webster, President Grover Cleveland and the famous actor Joseph Jefferson looked forward to their fishing expeditions to Mashpee, while local residents looked forward to the income provided serving as guides to those and other wealthy gentlemen. Ashumet and Johns Ponds are also noted for their smallmouth bass, while Mashpee-Wakeby provides not only the smallmouth, but also chain pickerel, white perch and yellow perch.

    Cape Cod Lighthouses TCCI

    Cape Cod Lighthouses Locations Click on a lighthouse on the map for more information The climb up circular stairs to the top of a lighthouse tower is not for the squeamish or for those afraid of heights. Most lighthouses have interesting stories related to their history. Some are open to the public and have “visiting hours.” Others are open only on special occasions. Usually a tour guide will take you through the building and offer you tales of lighthouse living. The winding staircases, the distant echo of your footsteps, waves hitting against the rock, distant ship hooting…that’s the dejavu you get when you visit the Cape Cod Lighthouses. It is as if you are part of the whole system that emits navigational lights to guide hundreds of ships to dock safely. Lighthouses are navigational aids that mark the perilous reeds, hazardous shoals and poorly charted coastlines for safe harbor entry. Once upon a time, the lighthouses were the marine pilot’s most important aids but the advent of electronic navigation has led to their decline. The system of lights and lamps on the lighthouses are also expensive to maintain. The vantage points occupied by the lighthouses make them a tourists’ attraction. You’ll go up the winding staircase with your pair of binoculars and voila! The beautiful Cape Cod Coastline spreads right before your eyes. Race Point Light Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Race Point Lighthouse is one of the historical building in the National Register of Historic Places. It was first built in 1816, but the current 45-foot tall tower was built in 1876.

    5 Things: Spring in Massachusetts After every winter, Massachusetts trades its white and salty streets for flower-filled parks and fresh starts. The spring story in Massachusetts is all about regeneration, from nature’s warming welcome to the re-opening of the Bay State’s most beloved attractions.
