A prelude to next weekend’s Turnip Festival, this presentation will explore what members of the Eastham Historical Society found when they searched for “The History of Turnips in Eastham” in the local archives.  The focus will be on the process of the search, the sorts of historical records available, and the connections made to Eastham and the greater Cape Cod area.  Using a historical perspective, researchers looked at Eastham’s reputation in agriculture and other industries, and listened to well-known Eastham residents explain the intricacies of turnip farming over the past one hundred plus years. All are welcome.

Live at Chapel in the Pines and on Zoom.
