About This Book
An illustrated local guide surveys the town’s historic places and objects of interest, offering brief, visitor-friendly descriptions of harbor features, monuments, early houses, streets, and relics associated with the early settlement. It situates landmarks within the coastal landscape, recounts traditional accounts of landings and founding acts, and records preservation efforts and changes to the waterfront. Organized as topical entries and short tours, the work mixes practical directions and travel notes with historical anecdotes, civic and institutional references, and suggestions for the seasonal visitor seeking both orientation and context.
