   On Saturday, December 13 at 2 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
in Brewster will present The Cornerstone Forum with Michael Farber and the
Lighthouse Charter School. $3/M, $5/NM.
   By the 1630s, the Pilgrim Elders knew that Cape Cod was their New
Promised Land. Boxed in by Massachusetts Bay Colony to the north and barren
ground to the south and west, they could only head eastward! They came to
Bound Brook at Quivet Creek to establish the Cape's first land survey.
   The Cornerstone Forum will hold an open discussion to explain this
ancient bound system. It will be asserted that this system originated at the
headwaters of Bound Brook--the landing point for the first magnetic north
line drawn in the New World.
   Based on the theories of Morse Payne, Michael Farber and students at Cape
Cod Lighthouse Charter School will present their latest fieldwork.  Join in
with your thoughts on how Cape Cod land divisions came to be.
