WELCOME! 2016 marks the 65th Anniversary year in business for the Red Cottage Restaurant -- and the 35th year under Rosenbach family ownership! Located in the heart of the South Dennis Historic District, the Red ! Cottage sits on the site of the 1828 Capt. Wilbur Harden Home- TAGE DAY COT R I stead, later the Capt. Obed Nickerson, Jr. Homestead, which RED F was “flaked” (an old Cape Cod term meaning dismantled piece S P M by piece) and moved to Pocasset, Mass. in 1926. Today’s “Red I -2P Cottage” actually started out as a one-room “camp” built in 1936 H 11 A M C F by Walter J. Weeman. In 1949, the “camp” was expanded, the FISH ‘ N OF seasonal restaurant opened in the garage in 1951 and - for a time 2 0 % - there was a boat-building ship in the dining room where guests ÉE dine today! NTR FISH E Originally established in 1951 by Kenneth Pareseau as a season- al-only restaurant serving strictly-fresh fish in the converted garage of the Pareseau’s house, it was sold in 1953 to the Mathieu family, who expanded it to a variety/grocery store. From 1956 until 1962, with it was owned-and-operated by the beloved Ottile “Tilly” Brix, who added fabulously popular “penny candy” to the mix. Subsequent- HOME-MADE BATTER, ly, it was owned by the Powers, Madeiros, Gordon and Peabody HOME-MADE TARTER SAUCE, families. HOME-MADE COLE SLAW In 1981, the restaurant was purchased by Maureen & Chuck Rosenbach. The boundless energy, enthusiasm and devotion of son and Dan Rosenbach - who grew up in the business and later graduated GOLDEN FRENCH FRIES! from Johnson & Wales University - quickly resulted in moving the grocery business out and expanding the restaurant to its present size, providing a homey place for friends and family to meet and enjoy the homemade goodness of the restaurant’s signature break- fast and lunch offerings using only the freshest ingredients. ! Under Chef Dan’s stewardship in 2009, the restaurant under- went a top-to-bottom “period” restoration, boasting a return to FISH ‘N CHIPS FRIDAY! its 1950’s roots and splendor in the dining room, installation of a 20% OFF Fish Entrée vintage South Dennis picture collection on the walls, and all-new of “state-of-the-art” restaurant equipment throughout. In 2013, dinner service was introduced from 5-8PM, and billed as “Red Cottage At Night” during July and August, which has proven to be a popular hit with locals and visitors alike. Over the years, we have been honored to be voted #1 Best Break- WE’RE fast Restaurant and #1 Best Lunch Restaurant in Readers Choice Awards, Awards of Excellence from Trip Advisor and Yelp! and Sorry rated in Fodor’s and many other competitions.

We hope to see you again soon! OPEN All Aboard! Dedicated to Dr. James Peace By Robert J. Hastings Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, Of children waving at a crossing, Of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, Of smoke pouring from a power plant, Of row upon row of corn and wheat, Of flatlands and valleys, Of mountains and rolling hillsides of city skylines and village hills. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.

    Town of Eastham Local Comprehensive Plan Third Edition 2010 – DRAFT Board of Selectmen Linda Burt Aimee Eckman Carol F. Martin – Vice Chair Martin McDonald – Chair David W. Schropfer – Clerk Town Administrator Sheila Vanderhoef Town Planner Sarah Raposa Third Edition – 2010 Page ii INTRODUCTION In 1990, the Cape Cod Commission was established and charged with the preparation and implementation of a regional land use policy plan. In 1991, the Commission adopted the Regional Policy Plan which has since . The original Plan has been updated effective ; the newest version is January 16, 2009 as amended June 18, 2010. The Plan was designed to help local planning committees identify important goals and policies for their towns, and to help fund and develop established guidelines for the development of local comprehensive plans. Eastham is one of fifteen (15) towns on Cape Cod (Barnstable County). The boundaries of the Town are dominated by its coastlines (the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Cape Cod Bay to the west), both approximately four and one-half (4.5) miles in length, and by the Towns of Wellfleet to the north and Orleans to the south. Eastham lies at the base of the outer arm of Cape Cod, ninety-two (92) miles from both Boston and Providence, R. I. The Town has approximately fourteen and one-quarter (14 ¼) square miles of upland (9,120 acres) of which nearly one-third (3,000 acres) is within the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

  • PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service
    TPRG PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service Prepared for Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority by the Transportation Planning and Resource Group, March 2012 (_) 1 TPRG ( 1. Project: Cape Cod Seasonal Train Service The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) engaged the Transportation Planning and Resource Group (TPRG) to explore if and how seasonal passenger rail service (essentially during summer weekends) could be reintroduced to provide a rail connection to Hyannis. Cape Cod suffers from extreme road and bridge congestion due, in part, from the need for most visitors to use the existing two roadway bridges (Sagamore and Bourne). Summer traffic on the bridges almost doubles and has increased significantly over the years. This extensive congestion is not good for either Cape Cod's economy (with a significant focus on tourism) or the air quality. At the same time, there is a vastly improved local public transportation network on Cape Cod. The purpose of this initiative is determine if and how to use the existing railroad right-of­ way (owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)) to encourage those who are Cape-bound to comfortably, reliably and efficiently come to Cape Cod on the train rather than in an ( automobile. The target service would be weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day(Boston to Hyannis Friday afternoons/evenings with return Sunday afternoons and Saturday round trip service). The initial study plan was to focus on the steps necessary to bring back rail service originating in Boston with a target date of summer 2012.
