Brewster is known as Cape Cod’s “Sea Captain’s Town” and the vibrant business community reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of our seafaring forefathers. In the late 1600’s business in Brewster grew to meet the needs of the sea captains and their families. The grist mill was at the center of commerce. A fulling mill, where wool fabric was pre-shrunk, a carding mill, and shops offering dry goods, provided local jobs and a place to sell goods brought in by ship. Today, Brewster’s businesses continue to meet the needs of those who live and visit here, providing a full array of goods and services, and culture and recreation. Sea captains’ homes are now elegant inns and gourmet restaurants; fine art and antiques galleries; specialty gift shops; and professional offices, museums and theatres. And with over 3,000 acres of conservation lands; 15 fresh-water ponds; the Cape Cod Rail Trail; and 7 public beaches along Cape Cod Bay there is recreation of all kinds to please everyone. We invite you to Explore Brewster! Discover the charm of our community and why it became Cape Cod’s Sea Captains favorite town. BREWSTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 2198 Main Street - Town hall P.O.

Look for the buoy about a 7 What to do in Brewster Brewster Historical Society public enjoyment. The Windmill is a fascinating opportunity for young and old to see how Brewster’s early settlers harnessed one of the area’s few available energy sources to process their farm corn into meal. Volunteer “millers” will explain how the building’s huge arms are able to convert the wind’s force through wooden gears into power to drive the massive millstones. Although the mill is a relatively primitive but ingenious design dating back to the 1500’s in England, the actual operation was not easy to control and depended on a skilled miller with a feel for the wind and rotating parts. The Harris Black House, located next to the Windmill, is one of the last surviving small post and beam houses that were frequently used on the Cape by early settlers. The one-story structure measures fifteen feet to the rooftop and sixteen feet square, and is the same dimensions as English cottages of the 1600’s. It is appointed with furniture and cooking tools from the period. The house is a single room with tiny pantry and a sleeping loft, and was once home to Nathan Black’s family of 13. Children are amazed at the contrast between life today and how an entire family could live, work, cook, eat, play and sleep in this little house 200 years ago. www.brewsterhistoricalsociety.org The Brewster Historical Society has three buildings in two locations. The Historical Society Museum is located on Route 6A, 3171 Main St., just east of the Cape Cod Sea Camps, and is open 1-4 p.m., Thurs. – Sat., midJuly to mid-Sept. 508-896-9521. As with the other two Society buildings, admission is free, and docents are available to describe the exhibits and bring the past back to life! The Museum houses four permanent galleries and a special exhibits gallery, plus an extensive documents research area that is accessible by appointment in the off-season. Featured in the permanent galleries are marine objects and paintings, China trade goods and other furnishings handed down through generations of descendants from noted Brewster ship captains. Also, the contents of an old Brewster barbershop, post office, significant pieces of antique furniture, family paintings and folk art are housed in the museum. The special exhibits gallery changes each summer allowing the Society’s photographic, textile and artifact collections to be rotated out of storage. A replica of the historic Dillingham House is also on display. The Higgins Farm Windmill and the Harris Black House are located on the ground of Drummer Boy Park, 773 Main St., West Brewster. These are wonderful restorations of 18th century Brewster buildings saved from demolition and moved to the present site for Cape Cod Museum of Natural History 869 Main St., (Rte. 6A), and is open year-round. Call 508896-3867 for the latest exhibit schedule, or visit online at www.ccmnh.org. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 seniors, $3.50 ages 3-12, free for under 3 and members. The Museum offers visitors of all ages interpretive exhibits that celebrate the natural history of Cape Cod. The Museum was founded in 1954, with a mission to encourage and advance understanding of our natural environment through discovery and learning. 8 The Museum is housed in a 17,000 square-foot building surrounded by 400 acres of conservation land, with scenic walking trails across salt marsh and out to beautiful Wing Island and the bay. There are two floors of exhibits, an aquarium, large nature library, and a Museum shop full of great gifts, tee shirts, jewelry, books and educational and naturerelated toys and games. Lectures and workshops on natural history topics are also offered year-round, and with special programs for children. Interactive displays of Cape coastal change, whale and dolphin specimens, collections of carved and mounted birds, and rotating art exhibits are among the presentations at the Museum. The Museum also has aquatic tanks with fresh and saltwater habitats and tidal pool, displaying over 65 native marine animals. The Clarence Hay Library houses a large collection of natural history books, magazines, videos and DVDs. Known for popular programs such as KidSummer and Mudflat Mania, lecture series by renowned scientists, credited courses on regional marine topics and special family events, the Museum is truly a Cape Cod treasure. The Museum grounds contain three walking trails that are open year-round for self-guided exploration and in the summer with experienced trail guides. The John Wing Trail, owned by the Town of Brewster, passes through 1.3 mile of salt marsh, upland forest, dune and beach habitats. The Lee Baldwin South Trail begins on the south side of Rte. 6A and passes through .75 mile of brackish salt marsh and beech forest. A .75 mile spur trail follows the eastern edge of Stony Brook. The North Trail, a short .25 loop, is ideal for families with young children, offering views of the salt marsh, Paine’s Creek and cultivated and non-cultivated wildflower areas. Crosby Mansion Off Main St. (Rte. 6A) on Crosby Lane in East Brewster. The elegant grounds are open to the public for walking all summer, and the mansion is open with guided tours during one of four open houses: July 4 and 18, and Aug. 1 and 15, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The mansion overlooks Cape Cod Bay, with architecture featuring a fanciful collection of turrets, towers and columns. Built in 1887 by entrepreneur Albert Crosby, the building is full of wonderful details inside and out. It’s interesting to note that the mansion was actually built around Mr. Crosby’s grandparents’ original Cape Cod homestead, and a small door inside connects the two buildings. For more information, call 508-896-1744. Stony Brook Grist Mill & Museum Herring Run The intersection of Satucket & Stony Brook Roads is a favorite place for local residents as well as visitors. It is a location of great natural and historical interest, featuring a picturesque mill beside a sparkling stream. Footpaths on both sides of the road meander along the edge of Stony Brook. Informative signs provide details about the area’s rich history. The Grist Mill, beside Stony Brook, is a quiet reminder that this location was a busy 19th Century industrial area. The Factory Village produced goods such as shoes, furniture and fabric. The present Grist Mill was built in 1873 on the foundation of an old fulling and woolen mill. Water flowing over 9 the water wheel creates power to grind corn between giant millstones. The town bought the mill and surrounding area in 1940. After recent years of refurbishment the museum is open and the mill is grinding corn again. Open Sat 10am-2pm, late JuneAugust. Take home some corn meal to make fresh corn muffins! Brewster’s harbinger of spring is the news that “The herring are running!” From midApril through early May (depending on air and water temperatures), hordes of herring migrate up Stony Brook from the salt water of Cape Cod Bay to spawn in the pond waters of West Brewster,. The Herring Run’s paths are a great place to observe the alewives’ aweinspiring journey up the fish ladders. The Run is considered a Cape Cod classic. Picnic Table. Cape Cod Rail Trail Walk, run, bike or rollerblade along 25 miles of scenic paved paths where train tracks once carried passengers and supplies to local Cape Cod destinations. The trail stretches from Dennis to Wellfleet, winding past Brewster’s forests, cranberry bogs and ponds. In East Brewster, the trail intersects with an additional eight miles of bike trails in Nickerson State Park. There are numerous places to get on the trail; the intersection of Route 137 and Underpass Road features a parking area and convenient accesss. Explore the Rail Trail Extension through Harwich to Chatham, ending at Depot Road.
