THOUGHTS OF AUTUMN.....



As summer has turned into fall, and our thoughts of warm sunshine and days at the beach are fond memories, we look forward to experiencing fall on Cape Cod.  The fall on Cape Cod offers glorious weather.  Warm temperatures make outdoor activities, such as walking and hiking, enjoyable.  As the summer slowly turns to fall, we will take our time as well and gradually walk towards fall.

The Hyannis Seasonal Walk, on October 1, offers beautiful views of the ocean and homes.  The 6.2 mile walk overlooks Hyannis Harbor and includes the JFK museumhttp://jfkhyannismuseum.org/ , the Cape Cod Melody Tent and the Kennedy Compound


Heritage Museums & Gardens located in Sandwich, is the largest public garden in Southern New England. It is located on 100 acres of sensational grounds and trails. The land where the gardens are located dates back to 1677, when Lydia Wing Hamilton Abbott became the first resident to live on the land. The land was then bought by the Dexter family and finally by the Lilly family who founded the Heritage Museum and Gardens formerly known as Heritage Plantation. The Heritage Plantation was opened to the public in 1969.

Although the beautiful gardens are the main attraction, there are also exhibits to see, like the J.K. Lilly III Antique Automobile Museum.  The automobile museum features over thirty antique American automobiles. There are also numerous examples of American motorcycles.

There are also miles of walking paths to enjoy.
