Tales of Cape Cod was founded in 1949 to record the voices of old-time Cape Codders in first-hand accounts of life on the Cape in bygone days.
Faithfully preserved through the years and transferred into digital form, this archive now numbers hundreds of CDs, DVDs and other original documents, more than 200 of which are available from Barnstable’s Sturgis Library.
Other Tales of Cape Cod activities include:
- A popular summer evening lecture series, now in its 41st year
- Reenactments of Revolutionary War history for Barnstable schoolchildren
- Books on a variety of Cape-related subjects
- Maintenance of a native American burial site in the nearby village of Cummaquid
