Provincetown, Cape Cod in the 1920s

Step back to the 1920s, a decade of dramatic change on Cape Cod. Author and historian Christopher Setterlund takes you on a visual tour of a Cape Cod summer in the Roaring Twenties - from tea rooms and beloved local shops to treasured places long since lost to history, this richly illustrated talk explores how the Roaring Twenties transformed the Cape's culture, economy, and everyday life. A descendant of the Doane family that helped settle Eastham, Setterlund brings deep local roots and a lifelong passion for Cape Cod history to this special look at the Cape a century ago.
