The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Digging into the Past
with
Author/Historian Theresa Mitchell Barbo
    Hidden History of Cape Cod


BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster continues its popular 
archaeology/history series, Digging into the Past, with author and historian,
Theresa Mitchell Barbo on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 1pm.

The salty waves and sandy beaches of Cape Cod 
disguise its fascinating and nearly forgotten 
history.  From Provincetown to Falmouth, 
treasured and enchanting tales of cultural, 
maritime, and natural history are tucked into the 
eaves of past centuries. In her latest book 
entitled Hidden History of Cape Cod, author 
Theresa Mitchell Barbo has unraveled unique and 
informative essays that will encourage a reader 
to think twice about what is beneath our feet, 
above our heads, right in front of us, and of 
course, what trends, issues and events that have 
passed us by. Learn why one of the most famous 
rescues in Coast Guard history spent nearly fifty 
years in the shadows without public notice. 
Discover which wild creature went from the 19th 
century soup pot to enjoying conservation 
protection under state law. Barbo explores these 
mysteries and more, from the lost diary of a 19th 
century schoolteacher to the reason Cape Codders 
call their lunch “the noontime dinner.”

Join Theresa for an illustrated presentation as 
she lifts the lid on the quirky and remarkable 
character of Cape Cod and its forgotten happenings.

Free with Museum Admission
