A historic fishing port, Provincetown is situated at the very tip of Cape Cod, Massachuetss in an area of spectacular natural beauty, surrounded on three sides by Cape Coed Bay and the Atlantic Ocean,, also surrounded by miles of dunes and beaches. Provincetown has a diverse and singular history. The Pilgrims first landed in Provincetown in 1620, and signed the Mayflower Compact, a declaration of self-determination and radical thought that characterizes the history and people of Provincetown, even today. Provincetown has been home to sailors, pirates, fisherman, artists, painters, and authors for centuries.

In the 1800s Provincetown, with the largest and safest natural harbor on the New England coast, was one of the greatest and busiest sea ports in the country. The rich texture of cultural, period, and social influences has produced a sense of place that is uniquely Provincetown. These special qualities have, for over a century, attracted the artists, tourists, and bohemians that have blended with the local population and produced the community's character. Provincetown is truly like nowhere else.

Provincetown has always been many things to many people. A charming New England fishing village, with piers jutting out into the harbor. A bustling art colony of revelry and romance. Here individualism has long been prized. Provincetown has always danced to its own rhythm, and today its music is louder and prouder than ever before!
