Summer resort and arts centerProvincetown is a town in Barnstable County, in the Barnstable Town metro area.
Site of the Pilgrims' landing in 1620 before continuing on to Plymouth
East Coast writers and artists began gathering here in the 1920s. The Provincetown Players opened in 1916, giving previously unknown writers an opportunity to experiment. The company introduced the work of Eugene O'Neill.
Quotes:"Much of the ancient flavor of Provincetown has been saved, especially in the old houses, the prim white cottages and staid Colonials that line its narrow streets, and in the bright gardens, the wharves, fish-sheds and vessels that still carry on with net and trawl."-- WPA Guide to Massachusetts, 1937
This was a great little town. It reminded my of Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.
