Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum Presents: I Remember Wellfleet with Dwight Estey

For a long time painting, singing, writing poetry, playing music, and acting have been deeply imbedded in Wellfleet culture. Everyone has memories of music teachers, instruments played, their first time acting in a school play, and neighbors of exceptional artistry. Added to that homegrown talent, masters of the arts have carved their niche in Wellfleet's culture. Drawn by both an inspiring majestic ocean and the solitude allowing for uninterrupted creativity, artists, writers, musicians, and actors found Wellfleet a place offering escape and community.

Time to share your stories of that actor found flipping burgers at a Rec Department cookout... Or of a starlet who stayed at Belvernon... or well- known people who ran through the town both literally and figuratively... or people whose names were widely known, but when they laid a towel next to you it barely merited a glance. As local culture wore off on them, their presence also added to the richness of the community. They often actedin plays, gave talks and musical performances to fund good causes, wrote about the Cape's beauty, and turned Wellfleet into a Gallery Town.

Although it was never in fashion to make a big deal about their presence, it is fitting that we record their time in town through the telling of stories. This is the time it will be appropriate to "name names" and "let it be known" - in a good way. Come and share your stories as Dwight Estey guides us through another hour of "I Remember Wellfleet."

With this innovative method, anyone can develop a green thumb!
