Towns of Upper Cape
Falmouth was once home to sea captains and played a role in the whaling industry. A drive surfside from Falmouth’s Menauhant Beach down through Falmouth Heights to Woods Hole affords some of the most beautiful scenery on the Cape. Enduring souls run this route, albeit in the opposite direction, in the Falmouth Road Race held every year in August. Martha’s Vineyard lies seven miles across the Sound, easily seen from the coastline. Nobska Light sits on a bluff as if posing for an Edward Hopper painting. Woods Hole, known as a scientific community with its famous Oceanographic Institution and Marine Biological Laboratory, is a busy jumping-off point for ferries to both islands. Take a drive along Woods Hole Road back to Falmouth Village and on up along Rt
e 28A through Sippewisset, West and North Falmouth and view beautiful homes and glimpses of marsh and beachfront. Hike the Knob for unspoiled ocean views. Falmouth has twelve public beaches, some of the nicest on the Cape. For More Info visit...www.FalmouthChamber.com

The Cape Cod Canal cuts a scenic swath through the town of Bourne. The Bourne, Sagamore and Railroad Bridges connect Buzzards Bay, Sag
amore Beach, Sagamore Highlands and Bournedale to their sister villages on the other side of the canal. In all, there are eleven villages. Those lying peninsula-side are Sagamore, Bourne Village, Pocasset, Cataumet, Gray Gables, Mashpee, and Monument Beach, names which reflect each village’s unique character and history. A drive through Bourne illustrates the town’s many facets: its colonial past at the Aptucxet Trading Post, a replica honoring 17th-century trade between Pilgrims, the 
Dutch and Indians, and its attraction as a seaside retreat for such notables as Grover Cleveland. Present-day visitors can also take in the canal, enjoying a bike ride, a picnic, even world-class striper fishing in season along its seven-mile length.

A tour of Sandwich is a tour through history. Incorporated in 1639,
it is the oldest town on Cape Cod and is home to museums reflecting the historical perspective. Visitors can time-travel by visiting the 17th century-era Hoxie House, the Dexter Grist Mill, and the Sandwich Glass Museum newly expanded to include a glass furnace and on-site glass-blowing. Heritage Museums and Gardens offers history as well as its specialty gardens. Thornton Burge
ss Museum and its Green Briar Nature Center put the focus on nature through the eyes of the children’s author Thornton W. Burgess. Come back to the present by beachcombing on Sandwich’s pebbled beaches, reached by way of the Boardwalk over expanses of beautiful marsh.

Mashpee has something for everyone. Fresh-water ponds and the ocean to the south offer fishing and boating aficionados their choice of both wo
rlds. Swimmers can opt for salt water or fresh; hikers can explore South Cape Beach or walk through old-growth forest overlooking ponds at Lowell Holly Reservation. There’s plenty for the golfer as well, with several courses nearby. Mashpee Commons just off the Rotary is a premier shopping destination. Mashpee is diverse in its history and culture. The town is the ancestral home of the Mashpee Wa
mpanoag and this heritage is carried on by their descendants. The Tribal Council puts on an annual Pow-Wow in July and operates the Indian Museum.
