It's in the middle of a residential area and near the harbor. We drove around and finally parked by the harbor and saw it. I have no clue about the history. I will read other Yelp reviews. All I know is this little lighthouse is really hard to find.

The bridge was built in the 1930s just like the Bourne bridge and always looks well kept. The state finally smartened up in the past 10 years and got rid of the rotary in front of it so Rte 3 goes straight over it. I'm surprised it took over 75 years to figure out that one!

Alright. So,…read moreyou're into Pharology and you find yourself in the mid-Cape Cod region. Where are you going? Here, of course. Let's keep this tight and brief. If you come you've got a decent sized parking lot with maybe 100-ish spaces. I would imagine in season on summer weekends, no comment on how diabolical it must be to get a space. For our visit, no such issues. Mid-April weekend with maybe ten other cars. To me, there are three things to do here: 1. You're going out the southeast corner of the parking lot and down the path to the beach. 2. You're taking the walk down Cable Road to see what's left of the Three Sisters Lighthouses. Yes, there is a very small "lot" there that you can drive to but it's also very walkable although at least to me, the sisters aren't much to look at considering what's left of them. 3.

There's a small park and some picnic tables as well as a sign about the history of the lighthouses that, unfortunately, seemed kind of weathered. We made a stop here because we'd never seen it, out of town friends mentioned it to us as interesting and, well, we were running out of outdoor places to explore during COVID. We then took a walk on the beach. Cute if you're a lighthouse enthusiast or you want to do something outdoors as well like walk the beach, but I wouldn't make a special trip just to see these little lighthouses.

However the building that the library is in was built by the Reverend John Lothropp in 1644 and that makes this building the oldest in the country to contain a library. And since the good Reverend held pray meetings in the front of the house that makes this building the oldest in the country to have held regular pray services. Of course the structure has been modified over the years but still looks and feels really old. Even smells really old, in a good way. And a really old building should have really old stuff inside and this place is filled with old stuff. Even some of the old floor boards creak in a really cool and old sounding way. This library is more of a museum than a book container, cool pictures of dead people on the walls, meticulously crafted ship models, really old books. antique furniture and other old stuff grace the interior of the library. The Sturgis Library is a really cool and functional library in a really cool Cape Cod town, the type of place you can easily drive right by without even noticing it. And that would be a real shame.

Provincetown is a fun place for tourists of all ages with lots of great places to stay as well as fun boat rides where you can go whale watching, cruise the harbor and just enjoy a few days in a fun town. Based on the traffic along Route 6, I'm sure many people drive there and just enjoy a day of walking around the town, enjoying the great restaurants and shopping. One of the coolest experiences we had was ( believe it or not!) inside the Provincetown Public Library. It's hard to believe it until you see what's on the third floor of the library. There's a replica of the Rose Dorothea, one of the famed " Indian Head" schooners! It was built over a ten year period of time and is something to behold. You might not think that's a reason to go to Provincetown but there are many unique aspects to this lovely town and definitely worth exploring!

The library has cool old funrniture and lots of comfy and cozy places to sit.
