Historic Reservation Walking Tour + Quaker Hospitality

Sunday, September 27 - 9:30 AM

In 1713, the Proprietors of Yarmouth laid out a 160-acre reservation for the indigenous peoples of the Mid-Cape 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.

This special annual walk starts at Packet Landing, continues to the Indian Memorial, and is designed to finish back at the Yarmouth Quaker Meetinghouse, just after their service is finished. Tour participants are invited to break bread with the Friends in the Ancient Schoolhouse on the Quaker grounds, where a full Indigenous style meal is included.

Sponsored in part by the Town of Yarmouth’s Tourism Revenue Preservation Fund
