Cape Codders witnessed and embraced many changes during the early 1900’s. With the railroad, came thousands of “summer colonists” to boost a failing fishing-based economy. Along came the telephone and then electricity. Marconi came to Cape Cod and installed a “thunder factory” in Wellfleet that made more noise on dry dark nights than a horror movie. Motor cars drove alongside horse and wagon on the sandy roads. Come see a slide show of real Cape Codders and their visitors as … Continue reading 17 May 2026: The Way We Were, Early 1900’s
