Wellfleet Adult Community Center

Join‬‭ us‬‭ for‬‭ a‬‭ Cape‬‭ Cod‬‭ Modern‬‭ House‬‭ Tour‬‭ showcasing‬‭ the‬‭ iconic‬‭ Hatch‬‭ House‬‭ and‬‭ if‬‭ time‬‭ allows‬ we‬‭ will‬‭ visit‬‭ the‬‭ Weidlinger‬‭ House‬‭ too.‬‭ The‬‭ Hatch‬‭ House‬‭ was‬‭ designed‬‭ by‬‭ Jack‬‭ Hall‬‭ in‬‭ 1960‬‭ for‬ Robert‬‭ Hatch,‬‭ an‬‭ editor‬‭ of‬‭ The‬‭ Nation‬‭ and‬‭ his‬‭ wife‬‭ Ruth,‬‭ a‬‭ painter.‬‭ The‬‭ family‬‭ occupied‬‭ the‬‭ cottage‬ until‬‭ 2008‬‭ when‬‭ ownership‬‭ reverted‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ National‬‭ Park‬‭ Service.‬‭ CCMHT‬‭ received‬‭ a‬‭ lease‬‭ in‬‭ 2012‬ and‬‭ finished‬‭ restoration‬‭ in‬‭ spring‬‭ 2013.‬‭ All‬‭ the‬‭ original‬‭ furniture‬‭ and‬‭ artwork‬‭ has‬‭ been‬‭ re-installed‬‭ by‬ the‬‭ Hatch‬‭ family.‬‭ It’s‬‭ hard‬‭ to‬‭ describe‬‭ the‬‭ setting‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ Hatch‬‭ House,‬‭ with‬‭ its‬‭ panoramic‬‭ view‬‭ of‬‭ the‬ bay,‬‭ perched‬‭ on‬‭ the‬‭ edge‬‭ of‬‭ a‬‭ kettle‬‭ hole,‬‭ with‬‭ a‬‭ vernal‬‭ pool‬‭ below,‬‭ and‬‭ its‬‭ untrammeled‬‭ west-facing‬ hillside which takes in the sunset over the water.‬
