Historic Reservation Walking Tour

Saturday, May 10, 2025 @ 10:00 AM

In 1713, Yarmouth Proprietors laid out a 160-acre reservation for the indigenous peoples of Yarmouth to live upon. This confined area was their home for 65-years. Join Wampanoag/Nipmuc, Waban Webquish, (Marcus Hendricks), and local historian, Bob Kelley, on this walk around the boundaries of this one-time reservation to learn more about those that once lived here. The walk will begin at Packet Landing, South Yarmouth.
