Native American History Walk #3

This is the third in a series of three Native American history walks sponsored by Harwich Conservation Trust, Brewster Conservation Trust, and Yarmouth 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 #3 will trace the periods from Ralph of Nobscusset to Portanimicut (1643) and Indian Town (1711) to Yarmouth Quaker Meeting (1714). Witness the barrier beach estuary at Nobscusset and explore the historic period migration of this community to Portanimicut (South Orleans). Learn more about the communities of Portanimicut and Indian Town and how they became the last native strongholds east of Mashpee. We will consider the role the formation of Yarmouth Quaker Meeting played in this story. 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 send in an email with your payment/registration confirmation.
