More about Dr. Pregot's work:

From the era of the Puritans right through to the end of the Revolutionary War, Boston was a central hub for the slave trade. Slaves were brought on board ships from the African coast with regularity, often mastered by Cape Cod Sea captains. The number of slaves per household was much smaller in the Northeast as compared to the South, yet nonetheless, a much-needed labor force was desired, reaching its zenith when our nation first officially started.

After Massachusetts legally prohibited its practice in 1780, sea captains became engaged in a variety of ways within its continuance. There were some captains who brought slaves in surreptitiously, while others enhanced the slave market in other indirect ways. Polarizing lines were drawn up. The commonwealth’s maritime industry became quite divided with some fighting for the cause of abolitionism while other captains wishing only to witness a very slow demise of this profitable endeavor.

The book discusses religious views, political platforms, economic factors, and social movements that existed during the pre-Civil War period. We gain an insight into the thinking of the day. Sharing several profiles of notable Black slaves living in Massachusetts demonstrates the enormous contributions made to the overall growth of our country.

Largely considered wastelands prior to the environmental movement of the mid-twentieth century, the incredibly dynamic and productive ecosystems known as wetlands today are wasting away in a state of chronic stasis, afflicted by coastal squeeze, sediment starvation, vegetation die-off, and increased vulnerability to acute natural events. Historic motivations for hydrologic modifications impacting these systems led to leveeing, ditching, tiling, channelizing, and more. Join this field ecologist for an overview of the why, how, and what now of a selection of modern wetlands both near and far.

Kyrsten Boswell's passion for coastal ecology began in the towering dunes of Lake Michigan and deepened in the vast wetlands of coastal Louisiana. She studied salt marsh erosion dynamics and barge-driven sediment movement during her graduate studies in Louisiana before relocating to Wellfleet for work in 2024.

A free reading of a new play by Paige O’Connor, directed by Ali Green

High school senior Joan’s car is a death trap, college admissions aren’t calling, and her well-meaning parents’ only advice is to “pray on it.” So she does. And then Joan of Arc shows up. Yup, that one: saint, warrior, and deeply unimpressed spiritual guide. She delivers human Joan’s divine calling–not to lead an army or save a nation, but to rescue the gilled residents of her pet store job: betta fish.

What begins with confusion, doubt, and frantic Googling (“are betta fish important?”) spirals into a full-blown sit-in protest as Joan tries to save the oppressed aquatic creatures from their terrible pet store conditions, all while tackling the idea that purpose only matters if it’s big/impressive/profitable. With Joan of Arc at her side, she learns to trust her instincts, stand her ground, and defend a calling no one else takes seriously.

It’s 1211 in Assisi, Italy, and Clare’s got beauty, wealth, and a rich suitor who showers her with expensive presents. So why is she so drawn to this guy Francis who gave up all his possessions just because poor people are suffering? Everyone in town says he’s crazy. And yet… she starts seeing everything in her life differently. This hilarious, anachronistic telling of the real story of St. Clare considers the cost of doing good – and how little has changed for the haves and the have-nots in almost a millennium.

IFAW's Marine Mammal Rescue (MMR) Team is the responding agency for live and dead stranded marine mammals, including dolphins, porpoises, whales, and seals, on Cape Cod down to the Southeastern border of Massachusetts, covering 750+ miles of coastline. Cape Cod has the highest frequency of small cetacean mass strandings in the world, driven primarily by the gently sloping sand flats, large tidal fluctuations, close proximity to fertile feeding grounds, social nature of the species that strand, and the hook-like shape of the Cape itself. Wellfleet specifically is a hotspot within a hotspot for these strandings. IFAW's veterinarians and biologists perform an in-field health assessment on every live stranded cetacean and those that are deemed sufficiently healthy are immediately released back to the ocean. Learn more about the critical work that IFAW's MMR team does right here in your own backyard!

Michaela grew up in Massachusetts- not too far from Cape Cod, where she loved to visit and spend as much time at the beach as she could. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Marine Biology, she began her career doing internships rehabilitating sick/injured seals and sea turtles. She then moved to the Cape and joined IFAW's Marine Mammal Rescue team, where she is now a full-time stranding technician. For the past six years, she has also worked seasonally at Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on their cold-stun sea turtle rescue team. When not at work, Michaela enjoys exploring all of the nature that Cape Cod has to offer!

The Trailblazing Life of Susan Dimock, M.D., with Author & Historian Susan Wilson

In a world overwhelmingly dominated by male doctors, Susan Dimock was a 19th century trailblazer: as Resident Physician of a unique Boston hospital where women doctors treated women patients, Dr. Dimock executed complex surgeries, trained America’s first professional nurses, and became one of the most beloved physicians in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Dimock’s life tale, intertwined with the Civil War and the fight for women’s rights, reads like an adventure story, ably told by her biographer Susan Wilson in this riveting PowerPoint lecture.

Susan Wilson is the official House Historian of the Omni Parker House in Boston, an Alumna Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research Center of Brandeis University, and an Honorary Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society.  She is the author of Women and Children First: The Trailblazing Life of Susan Dimock, M.D. published in 2023.

Isolated in an analogous Martian base (Mars Desert Research Station – MDRS) in the desert of Utah, USA, an all-female crew alternate between simulation missions outside (with radios, helmets, suits and astronaut protocols) and the development of their research at the base, all aimed at contributing to the mission to make inhabiting Mars a possibility in the not-too-distant future.

It’s estimated that we will be on Mars in 20 years, but the energy, protection and power challenges for this goal are gigantic. The Hypatia I crew intent, among other things, to grow fish and plants on Mars, to demonstrate that some single-celled living organisms can adapt to Martian radiation, or to manufacture a low-cost Martian GPS. The crew also hope to act as clear references to inspire girls and young women to pursue scientific careers and explore the universe. At a time when only 30% of the world’s scientific research is conducted by women and only 20% of space research, there’s a real need for more women scientists.

Did you know that today, women earn more than 40% of all doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? It's a remarkable change from generations past-yet the story is far from simple. In this talk, we'll take a friendly and accessible look at how women's roles in science and technology have evolved over time. We'll explore the social changes, cultural shifts, and personal stories that have shaped these journeys-no technical background required. Whether you've always loved science or simply enjoy learning how society changes over time, you'll find something to spark your curiosity. Come join the conversation as we reflect on where we've been, where we are now, and what the future might hold.

Thursday Afternoons IN APRIL, beginning April 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd, from 2-4pm (IN PERSON)

During several summers in the 1940’s, Tennessee Williams wrote all or parts of some of his most well known works on the Cape. From THE GLASS MENAGERIE, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, and others in between, Provincetown was the artistic muse and the birthplace of some of the American theater’s most astoundingly significant works of art, by one of its most prolific and important playwrights. In this course, we will examine Williams’ connection to Provincetown, plays he worked on in town, film adaptations of these plays, and explore others of his works influenced by his time on the Outer Cape. Through play scenes, film clips, texts by Williams scholars, we will immerse ourselves in 1940’s Provincetown and how it shaped WIlliams’ work, life and career. You may even be cast in a scene or two as we read from the plays! (acting experience not required). Taught by newcomer to Open University Tennessee Williams expert Alston Brown.

University of Wellfleet/ Preservation Hall

Instructed by Martha Rothman via Zoom with a field trip on the last day, April 23rd, April 30th and May 7 via Zoom & May 14th 10am-12pm

The Bauhaus was a revolutionary and influential art, design and architecture school founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany. The school relocated to Dessau from 1925 to 1932, and finally to Berlin until the forced closure in 1933. This course will examine the Bauhaus principles, people and politics and their dispersal in the 1930s to the United States—Chicago “New Bauhaus,” Black Mountain College and the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) where Walter Gropius was appointed a professor of architecture in 1937. GSD faculty based in Cambridge, MA, and their friends and colleagues were subsequently attracted to the Outer Cape and left a legacy of summer houses designed and built in this unique landscape. The last two classes will focus on the local Wellfleet history, geography and design, built upon Bauhaus principles; examine the work of the Cape Cod Modern House Trust (CCMHT) in preserving the architectural legacy; and conclude with an in-person tour, guided by Peter McMahon, of the Breuer House, recently acquired and restored by the CCMHT.

This lecture series explores the hidden history and cultural foundations of Underground Dance Music as an intersection of Black, Latino, and LGBTQ safe-space traditions. Drawing from early 20th-century urban Black social dance scenes, juke joints, and Jamaican sound system culture, the course reveals a lineage often erased by mainstream narratives that begin with the Loft and Disco. Participants will examine the shared values of Underground Dance Music culture, its role in fostering community and identity, and the evolution into Disco, House Music, Techno, and EDM. The series also addresses the persistent American pattern of Black cultural innovations being appropriated and obscured, reclaiming a more accurate and inclusive history of the dance floor.

University of Wellfleet/Preservation Hall

Taught by Maurice Isserman in person on Wednesdays May 13th, 20th, 27th and June 3rd 2026 1-3pm

The American Civil War, 1861-1865, is the central event in the history of the United States of America, not least because its outcome guaranteed that there would be a United States of America in the 160 years that have followed. More Americans died in the Civil War than in all other wars fought by the nation combined. We will consider the war not just as a series of bloody battles, important as they were, but as a moment of political, social, and cultural transformation. The war led to the end of slavery and the establishment of birth-right citizenship, and remade the relationship between the states and the federal government. The Union was preserved through the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens, as well as the inspired leadership of some of the greatest individuals in US history, including Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Ulysses S. Grant. Class sessions will combine short power-point presentations by the instructor with discussion of weekly assigned readings from James McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era.

El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego

On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon

June 6, 2026

1/4 mile Swim - 10 mile Bike - 5k Run

About the Course

The swim takes place in one of Wellfleet's many kettle ponds. Water is always calm and one of the first to warm up in the season. The bike course consists of two 5-mile loops through one of the most beautiful areas you will ride all year. The run is an out-and-back course that turns right near the famed Beachcomber Restaurant, where athletes will catch ocean views before turning at the halfway point (when we say it's all downhill from here, we mean it!).

Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan's mutual admiration and collaborating in the 1960s melded two styles of music that were, for the most part, stand alone entities: folk and country. Nowadays, we describe music that combines country and folk as Americana music, but that genre didn't exist back then. Dylan's 1969 album Nashville Skyline and appearance on the premiere of The Johnny Cash Show on ABC introduced him to a much twangier audience. Similarly, Cash's covering of a few Dylan songs and performing at the Newport Folk Festival opened the ears of many fans of folk music. Boston-based musician Matt York's latest concert program will use both songs and stories to illustrate the importance of these two titans of music.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wellfleet Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
