SUMMARY:Becoming Cape Cod: Creating a Seaside Resort
DESCRIPTION:Becoming Cape Cod: Creating a Seaside Resort \nJim O’Connell’s talk on “Becoming Cape Cod: The Creation of a Seaside Resort” is based on his book about the history of Cape Cod’s development as a vacation mecca. The presentation\, which is illustrated with his collection of rare historic postcards\, traces Cape Cod’s resort history from its discovery by Henry David Thoreau before the Civil War to the present day. The talk covers three eras: 1870-1920\, on the early years of the resort; 1920-1950\, on the impact of the automobile on creating a tourist region with common marketing\, a plethora of attractions\, and a strong heritage appeal; 1950-present\, on measures taken to preserve the Cape in the face of over-development. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Members\, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. \nRegister Here\nBio \nJim O’Connell\, Ph.D. \n\n\nJim O’Connell has a B.A. from Bates College and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Urban History from the University of Chicago.
