The History of the Growth of Population on Cape Cod
from Colonial Times to the Present
    The demography of Cape Cod is not only the story of the growth of 
population and the overbuilding of homes. There were times of decline 
and turmoil, employment issues and cultural conflict.
    David Augustinho will explore the history of population dynamics 
past, present and future. Do you know the age distribution of our 
population or the number of Cape families under the poverty 
line?  What you learn may surprise you.

The History of the Industries of Cape Cod
    The progression of the livelihoods of Cape Codders from farming, 
fishing, salt works and cranberry farms to industries such as boat 
building, glassworks, housing
construction, recreation, hospitality and, of course, tourism is the 
story of workers, opportunity, wealth and economic conditions through time.
    Wendy Northcross will talk about the historical perspective and 
the present state of the economy.
