Truro has long been a haven for those who enjoy a sense of Cape Cod as it used to be – open spaces, sandy lanes, sparse cottages tucked into the landscape. Visitors flock here for its golden light, panoramic views, beautiful beaches, and miles of National Seashore to explore. So compelling is the experience that most who take the time to explore Truro do not consider a visit to Cape Cod complete without time spent on its shores.
First settled in 1664 and incorporated in in 1712, Chatham’s founding days centered around shipping, whaling, and fishing, and many of its historic buildings reflect that era. Situated beautifully on the elbow of Cape Cod, surrounded by open waters, Chatham’s popularity as a vacation destination began to grow in the late 1800’s helping it become the beautiful summer town it is today.
