SHORE LORE & GRANT TOUR WITH MIKE PARLANTE

June 2, 2025, 10:30a.m. - 12:00p.m.

Join us to meet Mike Parlante, Wellfleet Oysterman, Historian and Resident Archeologist, for a morning of shore tales from days of old and new. While we tour his oyster and clam farm on Chequessett Neck in Wellfleet. we will learn the history of famous Wellfleet icons such as the "Elephant House", Smith's Tavern, and those special characters who have lived and worked on our waters for centuries.

Lastly, Mike will share his techniques for "culling" oysters, so we will be building on the lessons learned in our Shellfishing 101 class too. Bring water, wear sunblock, bug spray and short rubber boots if you have them.

We will meet at the Seashell's parking lot Power's Landing, Chequessett Neck Road at 10:15
