Native American History Walk #2

This is the second in a series of three Native American history walks, sponsored by Harwich Conservation Trust. The interpretive walks will be led by 12th-generation Cape Codder Todd Kelley and native Wampanoag/Nipmuc Marcus Hendricks. Explore the history of Cape Cod from the First People and early European settlers to the nature of Cape Cod today. The series follows a progressive story line about human settlement near freshwater sources and coastal water embayments and will take place at locations in the towns of Harwich, Brewster, and Yarmouth. Walk #2, First People of Saquatucket to John Wing and Quaker Path (1659) takes place in Brewster. Join the First People at Saquatucket, where the tidal waters meet the pure freshwater draining down through the Stony Brook valley. Contrast this with the early English settlement by John Wing and John Dillingham, circa 1659. Learn the significance of the simple Quaker Path, which ran from the Dillingham House to Bass RIver Village, and its relation to the First People at Indian Town, Yarmouth, circa 1711. The series costs $45, whether you join one walk or all three. Advance registration and payment are required — visit www.HarwichConservationTrust.org. Space is limited. Directions will be sent in an email with your payment/registration confirmation.
