History Talks Lecture Series (Sandwich)

The Nye Museum will host archaeologist and author, David Wheelock, as part of its History Talks Lecture Series. The event will take place in the Nye Museum Grange Hall, located at 91 Old County Road, East Sandwich.
As a seafaring community, Cape Cod is known for its whaling, fishing, and shipbuilding history. However, when one thinks of East Sandwich, shipbuilding may not always come to mind. The Nye Museum has done extensive research into the dock and shipyard that was once located at Scorton Harbor. Dave Wheelock, local archaeologist and historian, will speak on his own historic replica shipbuilding. Wheelock brings a unique perspective as the caretaker for the Wing Fort House and for his many years of preservation work and carpentry at the Nye Homestead and other historic properties.
Wheelock has worked for multiple museums and universities from the West Coast to the East. He has completed field archaeology from California to Virginia to New England. His interest in the Nye Museum started over 30 years ago through his association with Rosanna Cullity.
This event is free for Nye Museum members or $5 for non-members. Registration is required and can be completed online Here or by calling 508-888-4213.
Light refreshments will be served.
