    10 minutes

  • Off, Weston Woods Rd, Harwich, MA 02645, USA
    While in Harwich, we'll visit the Cape Cod Lavender Farm, a secluded estate that's just as gorgeous and fragrant as it sounds. Walk any of the woodland trails for free, soak up the smell of lavender, and pick up a few souvenirs!
    10 minutes

    As we continue our drive, we'll enter Eastham, a perfectly picturesque little Colonial town.

    10 minutes
  • 220 Samoset Rd, Eastham, MA 02642, USA

    As we continue our drive up the Cape, we'll spot the Nauset Light, the quaint little lighthouse that features in every quintessential Cape Cod photograph.

    10 minutes
  • Three Sisters, Cable Rd, Eastham, MA 02642, USA
    Continuing our drive, we'll come to three squat white lighthouses called the Three Sisters Lighthouses. What's peculiar about these lighthouses is that they're not on the coast at all! They're actually nestled among a thicket of trees pretty far inland. Hear about why that is, and how they came to be there. We'll also learn about how the Cape transformed from Nauset land to Colonial fishing towns, and then from fishing towns to a tourist hotspot.
    10 minutes
  • Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, United States
    Another optional detour takes us to the Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary. With five miles of trails through four different biomes, and more species of birds and other critters than you can count, this stop is bound to delight nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and avid hikers alike.
    10 minutes
  • Marconi Wireless Station, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue driving, we'll pass Marconi Station, the first radio station to ever send a wireless message across the Atlantic!

    10 minutes
  • Macmillan Pier, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    As we drive through P-Town, we'll arrive at Macmillan Pier, where thousands of ships have launched over the years. Here, we get to see how past and present really intermingle on the Cape. These days, the pier is mostly used to launch whale watching expeditions.
    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    Our penultimate stop is the Pilgrim Monument: the tallest all-granite monument in the entire country! Every year since its completion in 1910, thousands of tourists climb the steps of this 250-foot colossus to get a panoramic view of the ocean from the top. It's well worth the trek! Next, we'll hear about the Mayflower Contract, the rough set of laws the Pilgrims set for themselves upon landing in the New World.
    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim's First Landing Park, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    Finally, we'll end up where it all began: the site where the Mayflower first struck land.
