Events Tuesday Talks at the Atwood: Bird Migration on Cape Cod and Photography Bird Migration on Cape Cod and Photography Speaker: Kimberly Robbins Where: Mural Barn, Atwood Museum When: Tuesday, April 14, 2026 – 5:00 PM Bird observation isn’t about chasing rarities — it’s about awareness. Growing up in the woods and marshes of South Chatham, Kimberly Robbins learned to pay attention long before she ever picked up a camera. In this talk, she will share how the quality of light, the time of year, tidal shifts, and the simple act of listening shape what we discover during migration on Cape Cod. When we engage all of our senses, migration becomes less of a checklist and more of a relationship — with the birds, and with the landscape itself. Reservations are available by clicking HERE. Admission is $10 for non members, and free for members. Date and Time: April 14, 5 PM Cost: $0-$10 Place: Atwood House and Museum 347 Stage Harbor Road, Chatham, MA, USA Website

Events “The Prolific Pen.” Lecture with speaker Jim Coogan April 12 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm Jim Coogan will give a lecture on Cape Cod’s most prolific novelist. Brewster-born Joe Lincoln wrote about 40 novels in the first half of the twentieth century. His work was featured in major weekly magazines like the Saturday Evening Post and Colliers. Readers eagerly awaited his yearly offerings that were set in what people remembered as “old Cape Cod. His characters reflected the common sense of a practical and hard working people. Usually salted with a good deal of humor, Lincoln’s stories always had a happy ending. When criticized for this, he said that there was enough sadness in the world and he felt no need to contribute to it. Largely forgotten now in a world of Lee Childs, Robert B. Parker, and David Baldacci, a Lincoln book can be an uplifting experience on a rainy day. Tickets are Free for Nye Museum Members and $10.00 for not yet Members. Date and Time: April 12, 2 PM-3:30 PM Cost: $10 Place: Nye Museum 85 Old County Road, East Sandwich, MA, USA Website

Twenty-seven authors researched and tell of the colonies’ battles, privateering, British shipwrecks, contentious splits between Loyalists and Patriots, and the service of African Americans and Native Americans fighting to separate from the tyranny of British rule.
