A library with a…read more porch Wellfleet is a pleasant little town on Cape Cod. It's typical of many Cape Cod towns with beautiful beaches, great dunes, open ocean and a unique charm. So it's quite appropriate that the town has a beautiful and unique library. The library is actually quite new and the books weren't moved into the building until 1989. Before that the official Wellfleet Library took a circuitous route that took them into several different locations around town. Seemed the library was always jumping around. The first library started in 1893 when the books were just sort of piled in the back of the First Congregational Church. Over the years the library took up residence in a bank, dry good stores, town hall and finally an old curtain factory. The poor books certainly had to move around a lot over the years but finally have found a permanent home. The present library is a wonderful place. The first thing that catches the eye is the huge porch. A great place to sit outside and read, talk to friends or just relax. The inside has over 10,000 square feet and separates into several rooms which makes it a convenient place to hold meetings, events and displays. Of course the library has all the usually amenities of a modern library and helpful and extremely pleasant and friendly librarians but it's the cool, rustic and unique charm and great porch that makes this library special. It took a century to find it's permanent home but I suspect that the library is going to be in this spot for a long, long time.

Go back in…read moretime I love Wellfleet, it's my favorite part of the Cape. We have been coming here for years, owned property here and still have friends we frequently visit. Surprisingly it really hasn't changed that much over the years. Sure the traffic on Rt. 6 is still hellish during the summer but then it was always pretty bad. Most of it is heading toward P-Town and just going through Wellfleet. The town does get crowded during the summer but you can still find quiet places to get away. The center of town is about as quaint and New England as it gets. A few little stores, a couple of restaurants and a beautiful church. What really makes Wellfleet special is that most of it was left undeveloped.. Just one lovely place after another that was left pristine and wild. Most of the entire east side is dunes and beach. Wellfleet is a great place for walking along a lonely beach, biking on the trails or kayaking in the harbor. If you want some excitement P-Town is only a short drove to the north. If you want to go out to the islands Hyannis and the ferries aren't too far away, although in the summer it might take a while to actually get there. Like most of the Cape Wellfleet is the nicest in the off season when it becomes quiet, lonely and very, very special.

During the summer we only come by boat so road rage doesn't set in but then we're faced with the hordes of tourists in town. It's still a terrific place to be but the fall is something extra special. It was a gorgeous, sunny and warm day for a walk around the picture-perfect New England center of town, with plenty of time and space to wander into some of the shops and galleries. We are boaters so we like checking out the harbor and looking around at other people's boats. There were still plenty of them to see down at the town pier. The beach is beautiful and ideal now for a peaceful walk with the incredible dunes behind you. The pace was really relaxing, unhurried and with comfortable temperatures. This is a great town for walking and biking. It's so worth a trip down this time of year. Go if you can.

There is no charge for walking to the National Park's observation deck behind the Highland Lighthouse to see a spectacular sunset over twenty miles of open water to Plymouth; or to see the astounding 270 degree curve-of-the-Earth sweep of horizon behind you. Or to go to Pamet Harbor which is one of the most beautiful places on Cape Cod - no admission. Montano's restaurant is not expensive; and neither is the Bass Tavern at the Whitman House. Ms. Anna's attitude is not unknown here; it is what we praise God we don't have to endure after Labor Day. This place is NOT about greedy locals forcing you to spend money unnecessarily. Truro is a treasure for those who take the time to find it.

Here you will find EVERYTHING n you need/want to know about why this small piece of land is so important to our history. Here is where the old whaling industry , for better or worse, was at its best. Because if the amount of shipwrecks that happened here, the start of the US Coast Guard started. On this land is where the pilgrims had their first encounter with the native people. So much more! All of this you learn in the visitors center. They will point the way on recommended adventures, hiking areas etc.. A trip to the Cape would not be complete without a stop here. You can also, in season, get your beach passes here, learn which shells you are allowed to harvest and all things of that ilk. A guide will give you directions to where you can get various licenses if you have a mind to try shell or crustacean fishing. These are some of the richest waters for clams, muscles and oysters. I guess what I am trying to say is this is a MUST stop for your continued Cape adventures.

Definitely a pretty accurate description, this is a library that does a lot of things and manages to look really nice doing it. The first library in Eastham was found back in 1878 and like most libraries back then the books were just stuck in the back of the general store. By 1897 the present building was constructed and has served ever since. The present Eastham Library is a small but quaint looking building that looks like it belongs on Cape Cod and blends in very well with it's surroundings. It even has a little model of the real library in the front that would make a nice doghouse for one of the local curs. The library is actually much larger than it seems from the outside and holds 45,000 items. Besides the usually books. magazines, videos, music, computers and puzzles the library also has some great articles on local history, some artifacts and displays and a great genealogy department. A very friendly and accommodating place that attracts, enriches, educates and welcomes visitors from all of New England.
