Itinerario
Here we will stop and allow for an approximate 90 minute tour of both the Cape Cod Light and the Highland house Museum. We will join guided tours for both and be able to climb to the top of the oldest and tallest light house on Cape Cod! The Highland Light was built in 1797 and is rich in maritime history. This will be a guided tour of the lighthouse and we'll be able to climb to the very top! After we will enjoy a 10 minute stroll to the Highland House museum. This is a fabulous museum where Henry David Thoreau stayed while working on his great novel Cape Cod. The museum once was the 1st hotel on the outer Cape and each room has been turned into "museum rooms" depicting what life would have been like living in the 1800's. The museum is also filled with maritime, Indian and art history. The great artists Edward & Josephine Hopper, have their very own room showcasing some of the incredible produced in the early to mid 1900's.
A beautiful museum which was one of the first hotels on The Cape. See where Henry David Thoreau stayed on his journey while writing his book Cape Cod! Visit inside the museum on a guided tour to see how life was in the 1800's! Unfortunately, the Highland House museum will NOT be available on the Sat. 1:00 tour due to museum staffing shortage.
On our way to the historic Cape Cod Light House and Highland House Museum we'll travel thru the Provincelands National Park and take in the beautiful natural scenery of the famous Cape Cod sand dunes and iconic Beech Forest!

About Cape Cod
Cape Cod is a hooked peninsula of Massachusetts reaching into the Atlantic, with lighthouses, long sandy beaches, salt marshes and old fishing villages.
Cape Cod curls out from the Massachusetts mainland like an arm bent at the elbow, cut off from the rest of the state by the Cape Cod Canal, which opened in 1914. The Cape Cod National Seashore, created in 1961, protects miles of beach, dunes and marsh on the outer shore, and towns such as Chatham, Falmouth and Sandwich keep white clapboard houses, village greens and harbours.
